It Doesn't Matter How You Honor Them, Just That You Do

Many families find meaning and beauty in a traditional funeral service. With a traditional service combined with cremation, you can still choose to have a final viewing, visitation or wake, and a funeral service. However instead of in-ground burial, the funeral will be followed by cremation. Depending on your wishes, the cremated remains may be either returned to your family for storage in an urn, scattered, or interred in a columbarium. This option will include fees for the funeral services as well as the fees associated with the cremation itself.

Cremation: An Alternative

In many countries, including England and Japan, cremation is the most common form of disposition. 

Those who choose cremation over earth burial give their reasons for doing so as a desire to save land, save money or follow the ashes-to-ashes and dust-to-dust philosophy. 

Those who don’t choose cremation often say their reasons are religious or have to do with personal beliefs. 

Cremation changes the body into its basic elements through heat and evaporation. The body is placed in a container (usually either a casket or a rigid combustible container) and taken to a crematory, or crematorium. The container is placed in a retort – a specially designed furnace – where intense heat or fire reduces the body to ashes in about two hours. During the cremation, smoke and gases are re-circulated through the furnace so they don’t escape into the open air. After cremation is completed, the ashes are placed in an urn or canister.
