4 Basic Cremation Options To Consider
Are you looking for a reputable provider of direct cremations in Worthington, OH? If you do your research, you’ll undoubtedly find the right death care services provider to help you. But while you may be focused on arranging a direct cremation, it doesn’t hurt to learn about the various types of cremation that you can potentially plan. Here’s a look at 4 options.
#1. Cremation with a Traditional Service
Some people believe that planning a cremation means they can’t also plan a funeral. But the reality is that it’s possible to have a cremation service as the body disposition option and to then have a traditional service in a church or chapel as an option for the mourners. A service of this type offers many benefits since you and your family will be able to come together in one place. You can mourn together, cry together, laugh together, and simply be united and supportive.
#2. Direct Cremation
If you plan a direct cremation, you will be choosing a cremation with no traditional service, no memorial service, no embalming, no witnesses, no visitation, no body preparations, no casket, and basically nothing that you would usually get if planning a funeral service with a burial. Because direct cremation eliminates many expenses associated with a funeral, it is relatively easy to plan and is particularly cost-effective.
#3. Cremation with a Memorial Service or Celebration of Life Service
It’s also possible to plan a cremation with a memorial or celebration of the life service component. The difference between a memorial or celebration of life and a funeral service is that the body of the deceased does not have to be present when you’re arranging a memorial or a celebration of life. But you might want to bring the urn containing your deceased loved one’s ashes.
#4. Cremation and Donate Body to Science
If you plan a cremation, you can also choose to donate the body to science. When you find an organization that can use the body for scientific research, they will usually take the body and then, after they have completed the intended scientific research, have what’s left of the body cremated. You can speak with the death care services provider you work with and also speak with the organization that will use the body for scientific research so that you know what is involved.
