| | | | | | | | | | | Cremation | | | Today more families are choosing cremation instead of burial than in the past. Many believe that cremation offers options that traditional burial does not. For example - greater flexibility in timing, a variety services, and costs associated with services, in some cases this is true. But before deciding whether or not cremation is for you, there are some things to consider.
Is Cremation for me?It is important to realize that cremation is just another way, like burial or entombment, of disposing of the body of a loved one after death. If this method of disposal is chosen, a service, either at a church or in our chapel is still possible, either before or after the cremation takes place to give the surviving family closure.
Cremated remains can still be interred at a cemetery or can be kept for disposition at a later date. This in turn, offers additional time for some family members to travel, plan services, arrange for special events, etc...However such additional time also prolongs the grieving process and may create additional anguish not normally experienced with services happening in a shorter period of time after the death of a loved one. |
