Although
cremation dates back to ancient times, it has only recently
become a more common choice throughout the United States. People
choose cremation for a variety of reasons. Some do so based
on environmental considerations. Others have philosophical or
religious reasons.
Many
people believe that choosing cremation means limiting your options.
Actually, there are a variety of options available with cremation.
Most families hold services, which help the bereaved cope with
the loss of a loved one. Many people find that opting for cremation
gives them the opportunity to create and personalize the various
service options for a more meaningful experience.
The
greatest misunderstanding about cremation is the belief that
with cremation, there is no need for services. However, a service
or memorial ceremony is an important step in helping the bereaved
overcome their grief, and gives family and friends the opportunity
to honor a loved one.
Services
or ceremonies can precede or follow the actual cremation. Prior
to cremation, there may be a gathering, which can be either
public or private, with an open or closed casket.
When
the service follows the cremation, a receptacle or urn containing
the cremated remains may take a place of prominence. Ceremonies
can be simple, contemporary,religious or secular. Music, readings,
stories and poetry can be added to personalize the event to
both reflect on and celebrate the life that was lived.
