Different Cremation
Options
   Cremation is one of the two main choices when it comes to
    dealing with remains after someone has passed away.
    Sometimes, the instruction to cremate is left in the
    deceased’s will, while other times it is left to the family to
    decide.

   However it ends up happening, it isn’t just a matter of
    choosing cremation over burial. There are several options
    to consider within that cremation choice that make each
    situation unique. There really are no ‘better options’ and
    the options you choose are really just a matter of personal
    preference.
The Process
   Cremation is a process that goes back thousands of years and is used in many
    different cultures. In modern society, cremation is a process that is completely
    controlled from start to finish.
 
   Every cemetery that offers cremation has a facility that is designated for that
    specific purpose. The dignity and wishes of the deceased and the family are
    respected above all else as the procedure is carried out.
 
   Basically, the deceased is placed inside a traditional casket or a rigid container,
    and that container is set inside a cremation chamber. Heat is applied until both
    the body and the casket are turned to ash. After the process is completed, the
    ashes are placed in a permanent urn or temporary container, and returned to the
    family.

   A typical cremation lasts for about three hours, and some places will allow family
    members to attend the cremation if they so desire.
The Urn
One of the options that must be considered when it comes to cremation is the type
of urn the ashes will be placed in. Urns are available in a pretty wide range of
sizes, shapes and materials. If the deceased has made the decision ahead of time,
the choice is easy, but if not it might take some thought.


Urns are generally available in wood, metal, ceramic or stone. Cylindrical shapes
are probably the most common, but they’re also available in a standard box shape.
The colors range from natural metal, stone or wood to urns with different accents
and colors to suit different tastes and personalities.
The Ceremony
        The ceremony that takes place after a cremation is
         no different than the ceremony that accompanies a
         full ground burial. It may take place somewhere
         other than graveside, depending on the final resting
         place, but the ceremony itself is still designed to
         honor the deceased and provide closure to family
         members and friends.

        Whether or not the ceremony is religious is the
         decision of the deceased or the family.

Final Resting Place
Final Resting Place
   With a cremation, there are more options when it comes to
    a final resting place than with a full ground burial. The
    ashes are in the urn, but that urn can end up in any
    number of places.

   In some cases, family members keep the urn as a way to
    feel connected to the deceased, or on the wishes of the
    deceased. It may be displayed on a mantel or fireplace or
    some other prominent place in a family member’s home.
   If family isn’t keeping the ashes, a few options are usually available. The
    urn may be placed in a glass niche indoors, it may be placed inside a
    stone-faced outdoor niche, or it may be buried. Sometimes, a large upright
    monument is purchased for an entire family and that is where the ashes are
    placed as each member passes away.

   The final resting place is a matter of preference and what feels right to the
    family. Again, if it’s all worked out ahead of time then the decision is easy,
    but if not taking the deceased person’s personality and likes into
    consideration may help.
Important Documents
   In order for a cremation to take place, several different
    documents must be filled out and presented. This is usually
    provided by the executor of the will or the family members of
    the deceased. These documents may vary depending on
    where you live, but typically include:

          Death Certificate – this is the official certificate that is requested by
           the executor or family members after a death has been legally
           registered. This certificate is required to settle an estate.


          Statement of Death – this is an official form that lists important
           information like birthplace, family information, place of death and
           social insurance number.
 MedicalCertificate of Death – this is the certificate
 from the coroner or attending physician that is given to
 the funeral director.


 Burial
      Permit – this permit is required before a
 cremation can be carried out.


 Cremation   Certificate & Forms – an application form
 authorizes the cemetery to cremate the body and a
 certificate acts as validation of the deceased’s
 cremation.
