Direct Cremation Benefits For Families
There really isn’t anything harder to do than plan final services for a loved one. When you find yourself in that position, you’re probably very close to the person who passed away and your emotions are high. There are two main options to consider: traditional burial and cremation. If you decide on cremation in Winter Park, FL, you still have other decisions to make. Many families are going with direct cremation and there are distinct benefits to that option.
Direct cremation occurs soon after your loved one passes on, once all of the paperwork is complete. There is no visitation or any other service beforehand. Though direct cremation has been around for centuries, it’s much more accepted today and there are a number of reasons for that.
Direct cremation allows you to cut a lot of the costs out of the final services. You don’t have to worry about a casket (or even the rental of one), a burial plot, a headstone, or other such items. Those products and services cost a lot of money so if budget is an issue, a direct cremation is a golden option. Or, if your loved one has funding, but really wanted to leave that money to family members, direct cremation is a good way to honor their wishes.
This type of cremation is completely honoring and dignified. There are no worries about your loved one being disrespected in any way. In fact, some families feel the process is even more honoring because they have options as to how they remember their loved one after the cremation occurs. Instead of having to have a funeral within a few days, they can take their time to plan a memorial service that is just right. The family that lives far away then also has time to travel and more people are likely to make it to the service. That service can also be held anywhere you’d like. You can have it at a church, in a park, in a family home, or anywhere else. There can also be multiple services. If some families can’t make it to your location, they can have a service of their own and still honor your loved one in their own way. This benefit of versatility and flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why so many people go with direct cremation today.
