Many people are choosing to have loved one cremated these days. This is for a variety of reasons, including cost and impact on the environment. Of course, once the cremation is done, the ashes must be taken from the crematorium. There are a number of options when it comes to what you can do with them, so if you are not sure, it can be a good idea to read up on the choices. We have some information on some of the most popular options.
Scatter Ashes
Of course, scattering the ashes after a cremation is usually what people prefer to do. They choose a location that meant something to the deceased and scatter the ashes there. It is important to know that if the location is private property, permission is necessary. Some public spaces also require some kind of permission, so keep that in mind, especially if dealing with water sources. To help with this process, Monroe, NJ cremation service providers can help.
Display Ashes
Another option for the ashes of a loved one is to display them. This can be done using decorative urns of all kinds that look beautiful in any part of the home. Some people prefer not to let everyone know the ashes are there and instead choose more discrete containers. There are keepsake options, like picture frames that have compartments to store ashes, which can ensure your loved one is always nearby but without letting everyone know that the ashes are present. You can also purchase a niche space for the urn in a cemetery. This allows you to go see your loved one’s ashes whenever you want while ensuring that they are safe in the cemetery.
Water Burial
Some people want to provide their loved ones with a water burial. This can be done now without having to worry about impacting the environment or littering the ocean. There are lots of biodegradable urns and containers that allow you to legally provide a water burial. These containers are usually made of materials like sea salt, clay, wicker, even seaweed, which means that it will break down in the water and provide the respectful burial that you want for your loved one. Most companies that make urns can offer at least one option when it comes to biodegradable urns, so be sure to ask if this is something you want for the deceased after a cremation.
These are some of the most popular options for handling ashes. There are all manner of creative ways to make these experiences unique, so speaking with a crematorium or a funeral home can help you decide on the best choice. Be sure to have a budget in mind before starting the preparations so that you do not overextend your finances.
