Many Are Trying Cremation Over Cemetery Burial
Traditional burial customs have been undergoing some changes over time. Many people now select a Funeral Cremation. It can be performed before or after a memorial service is held. The primary reason for this preference is that the cost is less.
Some people react negatively to this manner of disposal. But, the process of embalming a body is also an unpleasant proposition. It is now a matter of preference as to which disposition is chosen.
It is of primary importance to select a funeral director with a spotless reputation. The decedent must be treated respectfully during all the steps of the cremating procedure. A memorial service can include all the accoutrements of the one accompanying an in-ground burial.
In many cases, the cremains, which means the cremated remains, are buried with other family members in a cemetery. Alternatively, ashes are kept in a funerary urn. Ashes can also be scattered over water or land as the deceased requested prior to death.
Depending on the wishes of the family, a church service, memorial service at the funeral home and a graveside service can still be held. In some cultures, the family will want to be present during the actual cremation. This can be accommodated in most cases.
A columbarium is an indoor or outdoor building with spaces to hold the cremains of multiple decedents. Each one has a plaque to identify the person interred within. The columbarium is located on cemetery grounds.
Alternatively, the ashes can be placed in an urn. If there are multiple family members, smaller urns can be purchased to each hold a portion of the cremains. In this way, all who want to keep a part of the loved one can have their wishes accommodated.
Many times, disagreements among family members can be avoided by Funeral Cremation and the use of multiple urns. After the process is completed, a memorial service and scattering or burial of the ashes can be held. If burial is chosen, the deceased will be placed in the family plot with those who preceded him in death.
