What You Should Know When Drafting Services For Cremation
More and more people are opting for cremation services in place of a traditional funeral, where an individual is buried in a casket. One of the major reasons for this is that this disposal method is much cheaper than a traditional funeral. Also, individuals who are concerned about the environment prefer this method of internment, as they feel that it is environmentally friendly.
If you know that your loved one wanted to be cremated, get in touch with the funeral director of a crematorium. They will guide you on how to go about the whole process. Some legal documents will be required before the exercise can be approved. This includes an approval letter from the local authorities.
You can opt to have a funeral service or not. If you choose to have a service, you can have it before the body is cremated or afterwards. If the service is held afterwards, you can have the urn holding the ashes placed in a prominent place, where people can view it and have a photo of your loved one placed beside it.
You can have a religious leader officiate over the ceremony. If you are not religious, then you can just have a non-religious ceremony. Viewing of the body can take place during the service.
After the service, the body is taken to the crematorium. It is then placed in a cremator and burned to ashes. If the deceased had any jewelry or gold teeth, make sure to have them removed well beforehand. The ashes are then placed in an urn and given to the family.
Cremation can be pre-planned. Some funeral homes allow people to pre-pay for this internment method before they die. This will save your family members the cost of organizing for the disposal of your body.
