People Are Choosing Funeral Incremation Over Traditional 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 most important thing to consider is the reputation of a funeral director to serve the family. It should go without question that the remains are treated with the utmost respect through all phases of the process. A memorial service can be held that is comparable to one held prior to 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.
An urn can also be kept in the home of a family member. Sometimes more than one family member will want to keep those ashes. In those cases, smaller urns can be purchased to each hold a portion of the ashes. In this way, everyone is happy.
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.
