Our Family of Kays-Ponger & Uselton Funeral Homes and Cremation Services has been serving the Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Englewood, North Port, Venice and surrounding communities for over a century. We are dedicated to helping people experience the simple beauty of an uncomplicated cremation, a unique and memorable tribute, or a traditional ceremony that incorporates cremation into a more conventional service.

There are many reasons why you may prefer cremation to a traditional burial, and many ways to incorporate cremation into an end-of-life ceremony. While some still think of scattering ashes, the choices for disposition of remains is quite varied as well. Remains may be scattered, kept in an urn, stored in a columbarium, made into jewelry, or even buried in the ground or in a casket with another family member. Your family has an array of choices surrounding cremation, from religious to memorial services, and we are here to guide your family through these choices and options.

On these pages you will find answers to many of the questions people ask about cremation, as well as a description of the types of cremation plans we offer, cremation options that help tailor your service to reflect a special life, and green cremation plans for those who wish to embrace a more environmentally responsible approach.

Then, when you are ready, call us at the location most convenient to you and schedule a complimentary consultation. The staff of Kays-Ponger & Uselton Funeral Homes and Cremation Services and Lemon Bay Funeral Homes and Cremation Services is honored to assist you. We promise to provide you with the highest level of assistance during this difficult time — service beyond expectation, backed up by our 100% Service Guarantee.
