People Are Inclined To Funeral Incremation 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.
The idea is horrifying to some and it is even against some religions. However, the process of embalming is also fraught with unpleasant implications. It depends on the personal preferences of each family.
The first consideration after a death is who to select as the funeral director for final arrangements. The remains being treated in a respectful manner is most important, whether the body is embalmed or cremated. A memorial service can be arranged to follow either process.
There is also the option of burying the cremains, which is the term for the cremated remains, in a cemetery plot. Another option is to keep the ashes in a funerary urn. Ashes may also be scattered over water or at a location selected by the deceased 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.
There is a building, called a columbarium, that many cemeteries have. The building can be an indoor or outdoor construction with spaces to hold the cremains in their urns. Each person has a plaque which identifies him by name.
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.
Funeral Cremation is one option that can resolve disagreements. It allows for any type of memorial service and burial of the ashes is also a possible choice. Burial will allow the deceased to join other members in the family plot.
