People Are Inclined To 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 fact, the cremains, as the cremated remains are referred to, can be buried in a cemetery. The ashes may also be retained in a funerary urn. The family of the departed can also scatter the ashes in a place chosen by the decedent.
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.
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.
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.
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.
