You Are Honoring Your Loved One
If you feel saddened that you can’t offer your loved one a traditional burial, don’t worry about honoring them. Cremation is a perfectly acceptable way to honor someone’s memory. You can show your respect to them through this disposition method just as easily as you can with burial. The method is dignified all the way through, there are simply fewer costs involved. Plus, you can have whatever type of service you feel is necessary around the cremation itself. You can have a memorial service, for example, that feels just like a regular funeral, if you wish.
You Get More Options
While you might have gone with traditional burial if you could, keep in mind that cremation actually gives you a lot more options. You can honor your loved one in a whole different way because of this disposition method. Take your loved one’s locations, for example. If people are spread out all over the country, you can wait and have a memorial service a week later, so they have time to plan and travel. Or, you can have the memorial service in a different location entirely because it’s easy to take an urn along with you so your loved one is there for the service. You also have options for final resting places. You can still bury the urn, if you’d’ like, but you can also spread ashes in a number of locations or simply keep the urn in a place of honor in your home. Some people even like to spread the ashes out among family members so everyone has a bit to keep in an urn-like frame or even an urn jewelry piece so they can wear it and keep your loved one close at all times.
