What is Cremation?
<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cremation is the process of using high\u2013<\/strong>intensity heat to reduce the body to bone fragments which are then processed into a granular consistency for burial, scattering, placement in a columbarium\/niche or kept in the home.<\/p>\n

Cremation Service and Ceremony Options<\/u><\/h2>\n

When selecting cremation, there are a number of service and ceremony options for you to consider as you craft your funeral plan. This is a very personal choice which can range from a full-service funeral with visitation taking place prior to a contemporary or religious ceremony followed by a reception afterwards to an elaborate Celebration of Life with food, music, and drinks to a no service, direct disposition where your body is cremated and the ashes returned to your family in a temporary cardboard box. Incorporating video, music, food, mementos, readings, and choosing the location of the funeral events are all part of selecting the services which are right for you.<\/p>\n

Caskets, Containers and Rentals<\/span><\/h2>\n

Selecting the type of container is an important part of your funeral plan. Perhaps you would like to rent a casket for your visitation and ceremony to be followed by the interior container and lining being used for your cremation or you may choose to select any one of the many wood-based caskets ranging from a solid mahogany casket to a particleboard or cardboard box.<\/p>\n

Urns, Keepsakes and Jewellery<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once your body has been cremated, you will need to select the urn. Urns come in a variety of materials, shapes, and designs. Selecting an urn may involve splitting the cremated remains so a number of family members may receive a small portion, typically in a small, keepsake urn. If you do not select a permanent urn, your cremated remains will be returned to your family in a temporary plastic or cardboard urn.<\/p>\n

Once you have decided to start building your cremation funeral plan, you will see a category bar along the top of your screen. There are \u201cRequired Selections\u201d that must be completed, as well as \u201cOptional Selections\u201d for you to select from.
