Many Favor Funeral Incremating Over Traditional Burial

A traditional embalming and in-ground burial usually come to mind when burial services are discussed. They may have been the usual tradition for decades, but, the current trend is moving towards Funeral Cremation. One of the primary reasons for this is the reduced cost. A scattering ceremony can be conducted.

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.

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.

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.

This manner of disposal does not preclude a memorial service of any kind, including a graveside service if the ashes are to be buried. Some cultures demand the family witness the actual cremation. Most funeral directors will be agreeable to allowing this.

Many cemeteries build and maintain a columbarium. This is an indoor or outdoor structure that has spaces in which to place the cremains. A plaque identifies the decedent interred within.

In addition to the option to scatter the cremains, they can be kept in an urn. For a family with more than one person wanting to keep the ashes, there are smaller urns that can each hold a portion. This satisfies everyone and avoids disagreement at the time of bereavement.

The option of a Funeral Cremation can maintain peace among all family members. Afterwards, burial in the family cemetery plot is one possibility. The ashes may also be scattered or kept in an urn by one or more of those who loved the deceased individual.
