Cremation Service Arrangements

Ballard-Sunder Funeral & Cremation

When you find yourself in the position of making final service arrangements for a loved one for the very first time, or if you have decided to make final service plans for yourself in advance, you might decide that cremation services in Jordan, MN are the best option. The other choice is a traditional funeral and burial service, and both are completely honorable, respectful services. If you air on the side of cremation, here are some of the decisions to make:

 

Which Type Of Cremation Is The Best For You

The cremation process is done the same every time, but the timing of the process can vary. You will want to think about what timeline you want for the cremation based on what services you might want around it. If you want to have a full funeral, for example, that would be done first, prior to cremation. The service would take place a few days after death and then the cremation would follow. That’s called full cremation. The other choice is direct cremation. That type of cremation takes place soon after death and then after it is complete, you can have whatever kind of cremation service you want later at any time.

 

Decide On A Package

Once you know what kind of cremation you want, you can choose a cremation package to fit those wants. The packages have everything you need in them, so you don’t have to worry about leaving anything important out. You can, however, add things to the package, customize, move things around, or do whatever else you want with them. Lots of people like to add an urn to the package, for example, so they can choose something specific for themselves or their loved one.

Figure Out A Resting Place

You will also want to think about the final resting place you want for yourself or your loved one that you are planning for. Where they will rest will help determine some of the other plans, possibly what urn you get, and other such things. If you are burying the urn, you may need a cemetery plot. If you are keeping it in your house, you will want to find a safe place of honor and so on. There are plenty of options and you don’t even really have to decide right away if you don’t want to. Once the cremation takes place, the timeline goes away, and you don’t have to rush any other decisions.
