You can have a viewing, funeral or memorial service or interment. After a person is cremated, the remains are placed either in an urn or a temporary container. The remains can be returned to the family for scattering or kept as a memorial in the home. Other options include placement of the remains in a columbarium or burial in a family plot. If the remains are to be buried in a family plot, you may be required by the cemetery to purchase an urn vault.
Requirements vary from cemetery to cemetery.
Ask your funeral director for details in this matter. A funeral is a ceremony in which the deceased's body is present. A memorial service is a celebration of the memories of the deceased in which there is no body present. This option is widely used by families choosing cremation.
