Today, more than ever funeral directors in Kendall, FL gets asked about cremation more than burial. There are many reasons for that; one, cremation is convenient for many, especially those who live in a different city/state/country than their loved ones who passed away. Plus, cremation is more affordable and also an environmentally better choice than burial. But did you know that there are four types of cremation services you can talk about with your funeral director? If you didn’t know, here are some information on them.

1.      Cremation with traditional services

This kind of cremation costs the most because it has all the traditional services you could see in a burial funeral. So, there can be body embalming, wake, funeral services, and other services. Sometimes memorial services are also held with the ashes in an urn. But instead of burial, the body is cremated, and the ashes are given to the family members. They can then bury them or keep them in their home or columbarium or disperse the ashes as per the wishes of the deceased person and the family members. It is still cheaper than a burial funeral because you can rent the casket instead of buying and you don’t need to buy a burial plot if you are not keen on burying the ashes. Even that is cheaper because burying an urn takes much less plot space than a casket.

2.      Cremation with memorial services

This is the cremation most prefer specially those who don’t want religious funeral services. In this kind of cremation, the body is cremated but the cremated remains are not kept during the memorial service. Most of the time there is no viewing before the cremation happens and embalming is also not done, if the body is cremated within 24 hours of death. People gather to pay their respect to the deceased person by sharing their memories. This kind of cremation services can be held anywhere even at the home of the deceased person.

3.      Direct cremation

As the name suggests, in this kind of cremation, the body is directly cremated right after the person has passed away. There are no services before or after the cremation; the cremated remains are just handed over to the family members. This is the most affordable type of cremation that is available.

4.      Cremation done after body is donated to science

Many people like to help the world even after their death and so donate their bodies to science. The institute generally collects the body after the family members notify them. Once they have used the body for the benefit of science and society, they cremate the body and return the ashes to the family members. Even the cremation charges are paid by the institute where the body was donated. The family members can then hold a memorial service or disperse the ashes as per the wishes of the deceased person.

So, these are the four types of cremation that are available from the funeral homes. Your funeral directors in Kendall, FL can advise you more no matter which type of cremation you choose for your deceased loved ones.
