Burying Remains After Cremation Services

If you decide to transport cremains of a loved one, you have a lot more options as to what to do after the cremation takes place. You can have a memorial service, a celebration of life, or anything else you’d like. You can also choose a resting place. Some people place the urn in a family home, others scatter ashes. There are also people who still appreciate the burial option, even when dealing with cremated remains. Here are a few reasons you might want to move forward with burial after the cremation takes place.

One Location To Visit

Some families like the tradition of burial because they can put up a gravestone and then, everyone in the family has a place to visit when they are thinking of their loved one. They can bring flowers to that site, talk to the person who passed, and have a place to go when they are touched by emotion on a special birthday or holiday. Traditional burial with a casket costs quite a bit, but cremation burials are much less expensive. Plots are smaller and there’s only the need for an urn or simple container, which cost less as well. Your family might agree on a central location that everyone can access as a resting place.

The Protection Of The Ground

If you wanted to keep cremated remains close , it’s a respectful thing to do for a loved one. However, you might constantly worry about the safety of that resting place. If you have kids, you never know what’s going to happen. And there could be a fire, or your home could even suffer from a break-in. Some people go with cremation burial simply because they feel the protection of the ground is safer for their loved one against the unknowns of being in a home. Once the urn is in the ground, it’s there to stay and nothing can take away that safety.

Loved One’s Wishes

Perhaps your loved one made comments about wanting to be buried, even if they wanted to be cremated or you know they were okay with that idea as well. It could be that their spouse is already buried somewhere, and they would like their remains to go in the same location. They may have other reasons as well.
