As with any other form of disposition, the services may be as simple or elaborate as you wish, and may include religious ceremonies, music, readings and remembrances. Most ceremonies can be held in the funeral home or church, enabling the staff to assist with the many details involved. If an open or closed casket service will be held prior to cremation, the design and ornamentation of a traditional casket may be preferred. Cremation caskets, which are simpler in design and ornamentation, are another option. They are typically less expensive than traditional caskets, but are made with the same care and craftsmanship.
Alternative containers are also available and are typically made of cardboard.
