Losing a loved one is an emotional and difficult time. Family and friends have a hard time dealing with the sudden loss and it can be a time of confusion and intense grief. There is no easy way to deal with final arrangements while being so emotionally charged but it can be made a bit less stressful and accommodating with the respectful and compassionate people who help us through this process.
With the increasing cost of the traditional funeral service, many are choosing cremation as an affordable alternative in order to lessen the financial burden on the family. The average funeral can cost up to ten thousand dollars, where as, a Cremation service generally costs as little as six to eight hundred dollars. That is a significant difference in price and it can give the family a peace of mind concerning out of pocket funerary expenses.
Cremation is a respectable option, being practiced since 2500 B.C., and today over 50% of Americans choose cremation over traditional burial methods. Direct cremation avoids the necessity of embalming and there is no final viewing prior to the cremation process with the decedent. It is a seamless technique and it gives the family and friends of the departed time to concentrate on the long road to healing, rather then painstakingly making lengthy funeral arrangements.
There is a twenty four to forty eight hour waiting period prior to the start of the cremation process and that is binding by legal permits. Following the waiting period the cremation can begin, usually lasting 3 to 4 hours, depending on the size of the individual. The remnants are then placed in a containment or urn of the families choice and then given to the loved ones.
Every life is unique and beautiful and should be honored respectfully. The world is changing and so are our needs and practices. Cremation is an affordable and dignified final chapter in a life well lived. Families can expect exceptional and outstanding services when choosing Cremation services in Pasadena.
