Our Crematorium

As the demand for cremation was on the rise, Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home decided to establish their own crematorium. Winnipesaukee River Crematorium was established in 1998 and is located in Northfield, NH, approximately 15 minutes from the funeral home.

In addition to their funeral home and 603Cremations.com, Winnipesaukee River Crematorium is owned by Craig Beane. The crematorium is managed by his brother Curtis Beane. 

In 2020, 603Cremations.com was established to meet the desire of many New Hampshire families wishing for affordable cremation options, with no membership fees, and to be able to complete the required paperwork and submit payments online. 

603Cremations.com was established in 2020 to provide 603 families with affordable cremation options with online arrangements. We own our own crematorium. It is operated by the Beane family, in addition to their funeral home in Laconia, NH. Owning a private crematory means that your loved one never leaves our care. You can be assured that they are well taken care of during each step of the cremation process. Our crematory operators and staff have completed extensive training in all aspects of cremation and will treat your loved one with dignity and respect.

Although our 603 website is new, our parent company Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, has been a well-respected business in the community since the 1860's. We are available to take care of families throughout the state of New Hampshire.
