Often, the deceased person is viewed and memorialized with a funeral service. The cremation takes place after the service instead of going to the cemetery. This is the most popular type of cremation arrangement. Cremation allows you to be flexible with the arrangements you choose. It's important, just as with any funeral arrangements, that you are involved in creating a service that is meaningful and appropriate.
Most people bury the remains in a cemetery plot.
Scattering the remains at sea, in the air, or at a favorite place of the deceased, is becoming increasingly popular. There are regulations governing scattering of remains over the ocean or inland waterways. There is jewelry available that contains some of the remains, allowing you to keep a portion of your loved one close at all times. Cremation is becoming more popular as a means of disposition. The reasons for selecting cremation vary widely, but cremation is usually selected because people are interested in saving money on funeral costs.
