The loss of a friend or family member can be difficult, which is why many people make choose to pre-plan their own memorial services. In addition to removing ample amounts of stress from loved ones, pre-planning the details also allows people to arrange the type of service they want. Below is more information about how memorial services work if you are considering cremation

Understanding Cremation Services

What does a cremation service entail?

Although many people worry that they won’t be able to have a traditional memorial service if they opt for cremation, you can actually display your urn or use a rental casket for the service. If your loved ones live out of town, you can opt to be cremated and then hold the memorial service days, weeks, or months later. You can then arrange for your urn to be displayed when your friends and family are gathered to commemorate you.

Additionally, you can choose not to have your urn displayed at all. Many people pre-plan a service that simply displays their photograph either at a funeral home or in a loved one’s house.

What happens to the remains afterward?

You can also reserve a spot at a cemetery or columbarium. Many people request to have their ashes spread across meaningful outdoor places, such a beach, their favorite park, or a hiking trail.
