Allen-Cranney Mortuary

Allen-Cranney Mortuary supports families in North Logan, Logan, and the broader Cache Valley with both cremation and burial options. Public information emphasizes flexibility in service style, including traditional funeral services, memorial services, and more private arrangements. Whether cremation occurs on site at this location or is coordinated through an off-site crematory is not clearly confirmed, so families may want to ask where the cremation will take place for their selected plan and how the chain of custody is documented.Cremation services (focus)Cremation is a common choice, and the mortuary typically supports a range of approaches from simple to more ceremonial.Direct cremation: Simple option with no ceremony, typically including transfer into care, basic sheltering and care, required authorizations, cremation, and return of cremated remains.Service formats: Families can often add a visitation, funeral service before cremation, or a memorial or celebration of life after cremation, held at a chapel, church, graveside, or another venue.Common add-ons: Private family viewing (when available), keepsakes and upgraded urns, printed materials, and help coordinating a gathering or committal service for a final resting place.Chain of custody / care: Families can ask where cremation will occur, how identification is verified at each step, and how transport is handled if more than one facility is involved.Pricing notes (no numbers): Pricing depends on the level of service and selected options; families should request an itemized price list or General Price List and a written, line-item estimate.Burial services (for comparison)Burial services are typically available for families who prefer a traditional disposition, with coordination between the mortuary and the chosen cemetery.Immediate (no-ceremony) burial: Simple option focused on timely burial with minimal ceremony-related services.Traditional burial services: Viewing or visitation, a funeral or memorial service, and a graveside committal can be arranged based on family preferences.Ceremony upgrades: Clergy or celebrant coordination, printed programs, flowers, music, and reception planning may be added depending on the service style.Casket & cemetery choices: Total cost often depends heavily on casket selection and cemetery fees, which are usually separate from funeral home service charges.Facilities & experienceFamilies can typically meet with staff to plan arrangements at the North Logan location, with services held at an appropriate venue based on the chosen format and size.
