Many Prefer Funeral Incremation Over Burial

While full memorial and burial customs have been the norm for centuries, the trend is now moving in the direction of Funeral Cremation, with or without a memorial service. There are a variety of reasons for this movement. A primary reason given is cost.

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.

It is of primary importance to select a funeral director with a spotless reputation. The decedent must be treated respectfully during all the steps of the cremating procedure. A memorial service can include all the accoutrements of the one accompanying an in-ground burial.

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.

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.

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.
