Cremation is a process of reducing the body to its basic elements by burning the body. Cremation can be done to ashes, or they may be left in a container that has been filled with water or concrete.
In India, cremation is a very common form of final disposition. However, it’s not as popular in America. In order for cremation services to be available in this country, you have to work with a funeral home that offers crematory facilities.
An Overview of Cremation Services
Cremation services are a very common option for those who want to have their loved one cremated. Cremation is a less expensive option than burial and it gets the body out of the way quicker. Cremation services can take place in a traditional funeral home or they can be done at home.
Cremation services are offered by funeral homes, crematories, and at-home providers.
Cremation services can take place in the funeral home or at-home.
Crematories offer an alternative to traditional funerals so that families will not be inconvenienced with extended visitation hours.
The cost of cremation is less than that of burial because it has fewer parts involved and it eliminates the need for an outer burial container.
How Much Do Cremation Services Cost?
Cremation services are a popular option for the disposition of a deceased body.
Cremation can be done in one of three ways: direct cremation, cremation with an urn, or full body cremation. The cost for each varies, depending on the type and location.
Direct Cremation: This is the most inexpensive route. Average cost of cremation are around $500 to $800. This is done when someone wants to scatter their loved one’s ashes at a later date and will not need an urn.
Cremation with Urn: This option costs more than the direct cremation as it includes an urn for storing the ashes of your loved one before they are scattered into earth or water; this may cost between $700 to $1,000.
What Do Cremation Services Include?
Cremation is a process that destroys a body to the point where all that remains is bone fragments. Cremation services typically involve the use of heat and fire to gently burn the deceased’s body.
Cremation services are done by a professional crematory, and they typically include:
– Casketing (using their own materials or yours)
– Curtains for the coffin
– Informational brochures about cremation
– A container for scattering ashes
– Waterproof shoes or booties
The Benefits of Choosing a Traditional Funeral instead of a Cremation
The benefits of choosing a traditional funeral instead of cremation are that you can make the funeral a celebration of life. You can include different aspects like religious ceremonies, singing, dancing and more.
“Cremation is a process by which the body is heated to a high temperature until all that remains is bone.”
A traditional funeral allows for more creativity in how you want to celebrate someone’s life.
