Many people opt for either earth or above ground interment depending on family and/or religious traditions, with the body typically present at both visitation and funeral services beforehand. Furthermore, you need to decide whether embalming may be necessary as well what type of casket should hold them in peace - not forgetting the choice of cemetery itself along with any inscription that will adorn its gravestone afterwards. Saying goodbye to a loved one can be an emotional experience, but it is also important to make some practical decisions about their burial. Let us help.
Many people opt for cremation due to various reasons such as religious or environmental beliefs. It is also a cost-effective option compared to traditional burials. The process involves using heat to reduce the body and its container to bone fragments, which are further processed into coarse sand-like particles weighing around 7-8 pounds. It is worth noting that although cremation is an alternative option, it does not eliminate the need for wakes or memorials as forms of remembrance.

For many people, religious beliefs or environmental considerations lead them to choose cremation instead of a burial. This choice often translates into cost savings as well; typically the entire process costs significantly less than that of traditional burials. During cremation, intense heat reduces the body and its container to bone fragments which are then crushed and made into coarse sand-like particles - usually weighing no more than 7-8 pounds in total after processing. It's important to note that while this is an alternative form of disposition for those looking for non-burial options, it does not replace funerary services like wakes or memorials should someone wish these forms of remembrance too.
