Your Cremation Choices & Memorialization Options
Cremation offers a variety of dignified ways to memorialize your loved one. Once cremation has taken place, the cremated remains can be handled according to your wishes:
- Kept by the Family: Remains can be placed in an urn and kept at home.
- Scattering: Remains can be scattered in a meaningful location (subject to local regulations).
- Niche in a Columbarium: Remains can be placed in a niche within a columbarium at a cemetery.
- Burial of Remains: Cremated remains can be interred in a grave, either in a traditional plot or a smaller cremation plot.
- Other Memorial Options: We can discuss other unique memorialization ideas with you.
Services, visitations, or viewings can be held before or after the cremation, allowing you to create a tribute that is meaningful to you and your family.
Common Reasons Families Choose Cremation
- Flexibility: Cremation allows for more flexibility in the timing and location of memorial services.
- Simplicity: Some find the process to be simpler or more straightforward than traditional burial.
- Personal Preference: A personal desire not to be buried or a preference for the body to be cremated.
- Cost Considerations: Depending on the services selected, cremation can sometimes be a more affordable option.
- Environmental Considerations: For some, cremation is perceived as a more environmentally conscious choice.
