You may witness the placing of the casket or container in the cremation chamber. You may even start the cremation process itself. The Service Counselor must be informed of your wishes in advance, so that a mutually convenient time can be arranged. As mentioned, cremation is just one step in the commemorative process - the preparation of human remains for memorialization. Today, there are many different types of memorial options from which to choose.
Memorialization is a time-honored tradition that has been practiced for centuries.
A memorial serves as a tribute to a life lived and provides a focal point for remembrance, as well as a record for future generations. The type of memorial you choose is a personal decision. The limit is set only by your imagination. A simple, fiber container is provided by the crematorium, free of charge. However, you may prefer an urn which more reflects your personal tastes.
