Cremation Services in Kingston, WA

Cremation Services for Kingston Families

The Stone Chapel Poulsbo Mortuary arranges and provides a full range of cremation options for Kingston families, from a simple direct cremation to a cremation paired with a full memorial service or celebration of life. Every option is explained in plain language so your family can choose what feels right, without pressure.

For families who want an environmentally mindful choice, we coordinate aquamation, terramation, and green burial, all part of our green and eco-friendly options. Because these services are arranged and coordinated on your family's behalf, Kingston families do not have to choose between an eco-conscious option and working with a familiar, trusted local team.

Once cremation is complete, we help families decide what comes next: scattering, a keepsake urn, or permanent inurnment in the columbarium at Cherry Grove Memorial Park, our cemetery at the Poulsbo location. A life tribute video, personalized printing, or a tribute wall can also be added to any cremation service to help guests share memories.

Veterans are welcome to request military honors as part of a cremation service, and families who want to think ahead can review our pre-planning options before a need arises. If your family is also weighing burial, our page comparing cremation versus burial may help. And if a traditional funeral service in Kingston is part of the plan, our funeral services page for Kingston covers those options in full.

Why Kingston Families Choose The Stone Chapel Poulsbo Mortuary

Kingston families weighing cremation are choosing a provider that combines a licensed funeral home with its own cemetery, Cherry Grove Memorial Park, at one Poulsbo address. That means cremation, inurnment, and columbarium placement can all be arranged through a single team rather than coordinated across separate businesses.

We are family-owned and part of the Weeks' Funeral Homes group, and our president, Russ Weeks, is a licensed Funeral Director, Embalmer, and Certified Crematory Operator (CFSP, CCO). That credential matters most in cremation, where families want assurance that every step is handled by someone trained specifically for it.

We also offer a full green cremation portfolio, including aquamation and terramation alongside traditional cremation, giving Kingston families a genuine environmental choice close to home. The Stone Chapel name reflects decades of local roots in this part of Kitsap County, and we bring that same familiarity to every cremation arrangement we handle for a Kingston family.

About Kingston, Washington

Kingston is a small waterfront community in northeastern Kitsap County, set along Appletree Cove on Puget Sound. It is best known as the western terminus of the Edmonds-Kingston ferry, a Washington State Ferries crossing of about 30 minutes that links North Kitsap to Edmonds and the greater Seattle area, and it is also served by a Kitsap Transit passenger-only fast ferry into downtown Seattle.

Often called the "Little City by the Sea," Kingston grew from an early logging and mill town into a ferry and marina community with a population of roughly 2,500 as of the 2020 census. Its small size means many families are used to traveling a short distance for specialized services, including cremation.

The Stone Chapel Poulsbo Mortuary is located about 10 miles from downtown Kingston, generally a drive of well under 20 minutes. We can also come to a Kingston home or care facility directly when a family needs us there instead.

Does The Stone Chapel Poulsbo Mortuary provide cremation services for Kingston families?

Yes. We provide and arrange cremation services for Kingston families, including direct cremation, cremation paired with a memorial service, and green options such as aquamation and terramation. Every option is coordinated by our licensed team and explained clearly before your family decides.

What is the difference between direct cremation and cremation with a memorial service?

Direct cremation is cremation without a preceding viewing or ceremony, often chosen when a family wants a simple, private process.
