Cremation is often a cheaper option than the traditional type of funeral for many different reasons. If you choose to have a direct cremation for your loved one (or they pre-chose it themselves) then it really is the cheapest option available, yet can still be carried out with dignity and love. Splashing out on a lavish funeral is really not necessary to show the world how much the deceased meant to you.

Direct Cremation

If you chose a direct cremation, then it all happens very shortly after death which eliminates any need for the costly business of embalming (there are generally no visitations etc). This also cuts down on paying the funeral home for providing a suitable room for visitations to take place. The cremated remains will be placed in an urn or some other container and can be kept at home, buried on a plot or scattered in some special place of the deceased or family.

Caskets for Cremation

Cremation also cuts out the need for a costly casket. If your funeral home provides a direct cremation service then they must also provide you with a suitable unfinished wooden box or some other alternative container which can be used in place of a casket. One other option is to rent a traditional casket from the funeral home which can be used for effect but not actually burned. This idea is certainly worth asking your chosen funeral provider about.

Memorial Services

After a direct cremation it is perfectly commonplace to hold a memorial service for the deceased, even if the remains are not present. This can take place at a later, more convenient date when all family and friends are able to attend. This can also be tied in with scattering of the ashes which can be a memorable and poignant way to say your last goodbyes.
