If you’re planning a cremation service for you or your loved one, consider the following as you decide the next steps:

Service Types 

cremationsFollowing the cremation, consider what type of services you’d like to have. Some people choose to have a service before the cremation, and then another after. An alternative is to host a memorial service at a later date following the cremation. You can also still choose to have a traditional funeral and burial. Deciding the type of service then allows you to identify prospective locations and their associated costs. The compassionate staff at Adzima Funeral Home always puts your plans first when deciding the proper service.

Handling Of Remains 

Common options for the placement and handling of remains following cremation include burial in a plot during a traditional funeral, scattering in a place of significance, or remaining held in a container as chosen by the family. Each option comes with varying benefits and cost levels.

Costs

Determine the expense level that’s right for you and always review the specifics. Cremations are generally considered a less expensive alternative to burial, but the costs vary. For example, direct cremation—a cremation without a funeral service beforehand and a container instead of a formal casket—is typically the most affordable option. Standard cremation with ceremonies, however, can at times be on par with traditional burials. Along with the ceremony and services, consider the potential costs of products like caskets, urns, headstones, and transportation of the deceased.
