Here are some key benefits of choosing simplified cremation:
No embalming or viewing is involved. The body is collected, cremated, and then the ashes are returned to the family or designated individual.
Because it skips many of the services associated with traditional funerals, such as embalming, viewing, and a funeral service, direct cremation tends to be one of the most affordable options.
Since there’s no need to coordinate with a funeral or memorial service schedule, the cremation process can usually be completed in a relatively short period after death.
With direct cremation, families have the flexibility to hold a memorial service, celebration of life, or any other kind of gathering at a later time, if they choose. This can be especially useful in situations where family members are spread out geographically and need time to come together, or if a more detailed memorial service is planned for a future date.
Without the need for embalming fluids, caskets, or burial vaults, direct cremation can be viewed as a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional burial.
After cremation, the ashes (cremains) are returned in a simple container. Families can then decide if they’d like to purchase an urn, scatter the ashes, or make some funeral arrangements.
Just like any other form of disposition, direct cremation requires specific paperwork. At Harwood Cremations, we will assists you with these details.
