Types of Cremation Funerals
As was noted earlier this week, you should not feel as if choosing cremation means that you need to do without a funeral or memorial service for your loved one. Cremation funerals serve the same function as funerals that precede a burial. Participating in such a service can do a lot to help grieving family and friends say goodbye to a loved one.
You have options when it comes to planning a service for your loved one.
If you want to have a Traditional Cremation Funeral Service then the structure of the program will be very much like a standard funeral. You can choose to hold the service in a house of worship, at a funeral home or at any other location that is appropriate. Let the funeral director know if you want to include clergy as part of the program or if you prefer to have attendees conduct the service themselves. Some people may not realize that you can have a service that mirrors a burial when you choose cremation and that this service can include viewing and a funeral procession to the crematory.
Having a Traditional Cremation Service will cost some money, but it will not be as expensive as a traditional burial. You also have the option of renting or buying a cremation casket. Should you choose to rent a casket for the service, it will not be used during the cremation process, but will be replaced with another container.
If you prefer to have a Cremation Funeral, which is a funeral or memorial service that follows the cremation process, you will still be able to gather with family and friends to remember your loved one. You can do this with or without having the cremated remains present. Cremation Emporium will help you with this type of service as well. If you do decide that you want to have the remains present, you can choose to display them in a decorative urn. Some people really need to have something there to symbolize the person they are there to honor, while others prefer not to have that reminder. Once you let the funeral director know your preference they can start to work on the details for you. And should you decide on a decorative urn and then change your mind, it is simple to remove the urn and conduct a memorial service without it.
