Advantages of a Cremation Service

Here’s what they are.  

 

If someone has religious or spiritual beliefs, they probably have beliefs about death. Some people believe that humans have souls and that cremation is the best way to release them. Others have different spiritual beliefs regarding cremation.   

The decision to opt for a cremation ceremony is often guided by religious beliefs.   

When someone passes away, their remains have to be dealt with in a short period of time. Cremation in some sense extends that period. You can have your loved one cremated immediately and hold the memorial service at a later, more convenient time.   

It’s possible that the deceased’s loved ones can’t gather within a few days of the death. Some of the family members may be living abroad.   

There are sentimental reasons why someone may opt for cremation. When a body is buried, it’s tied to a specific physical spot. However, when someone is cremated, their survivors have the option of keeping the remains.   

An urn that you can look at every day may suit your grief better than a gravesite. There’s no right or wrong answer, of course. But that doesn’t mean you can’t feel strongly either way.   

A traditional funeral and burial service can be very expensive. The casket alone often costs thousands of dollars. And you have to pay for a burial plot.   

A cremation ceremony is usually significantly cheaper. An urn can be purchased for less than $20. You can scatter your loved one’s ashes for free. The cremation itself is the only cost.   

Your love isn’t measured by how much you spend on the memorial service. There’s nothing wrong with paying attention to your budget when you’re planning a memorial service. If money is tight, it makes sense to choose cremation.   

A cremation ceremony is often very simple. If you prefer, you can skip the memorial service and the reception entirely. Everyone can grieve in their own way. You should only do this if you’re willing to handle the questions from friends and relatives. If the deceased had a social circle or people who cared about them, they’re going to wonder why there’s no service planned.  

Sometimes people request that there’s no memorial when they die. They want to be quietly cremated. Of course, those wishes should absolutely be honored.    

If you have questions about what you should choose, speak to a funeral director. They can help you figure out which option would be the best choice for your situation.
