Kudos to you if you are preplanning your end-of-life services. We know that this is not a pleasant subject. However, making your own funeral arrangements is one of the kindest acts you can do for your next of kin.
You probably already know that cremation has become the most popular method of disposition in the United States. Not only does it offer environmental benefits, but it also allows greater flexibility when planning prepaid cremation services.
While you are comfortable with the cremation process, you may not know about direct cremation. Please allow us to give you an overview of direct cremation and discuss how to plan ahead.
What is Direct Cremation?
Direct cremation describes the process of removing the body from the place of death to the crematory. Those who choose direct cremation understand that their family members will say their goodbyes at the site of death instead of during an open-casket visitation at a funeral home.
Direct cremation can be followed by a memorial service. Since the body will already be cremated, the family will have greater flexibility in the time and place for the funeral services.
Direct cremation simplifies the end of life issues. It reduces the number of times the body is transferred and is the most affordable option.
Why Should You Preplan Your Cremation?
Even though cremation is much less expensive than a traditional funeral service, cremation costs are rising. Because of these rising costs, it makes sense to select a cremation provider and pre-arrange and pay for your services.
If you complete this process, your loved ones will be free to mourn you at the time of death instead of researching each price list of cremation providers in your area.
