Tell us about your loved one’s passions, personality, hobbies and interests, and we’ll capture the little things that made them special.

Whether you'd like to arrange a traditional funeral service or modern celebration of life, large gathering or more intimate service, we'll work with you one-on-one to ensure your needs and budget are met. From floral arrangements to music selections, decor and more, we guide you through your choices with care.

Cremation in Raleigh

Signature Dedication at Brown-Wynne Funeral HomeThere are many options for cremation in Raleigh—and they're not all equal. We specialize in cremation services that honor loved ones in personalized ways, and families love our all-inclusive pricing. With expertise in scattering ashes and a friendly team who pays attention to every detail, we provide service that is second to none.

More and more people are choosing cremation over traditional burial, but most aren’t familiar with the many options:

  • a cremation without a funeral or memorial service of any kind.
  • a funeral with your loved one present, followed by cremation.
  • a cremation followed by a scattering, cemetery memorialization or celebration of life—or all three.

"Kenneth Hagan was so kind and helpful from the moment that I met him. It turned out that I had met him many years previously. He made himself available to us at anytime. He is a true asset to Brown Wynn. I would definitely recommend him and Brown Wynn."
