There are many different options if you are choosing to pre-plan your funeral arrangements. If you plan your own funeral, you will relieve your loved ones of a lot of stress during a very difficult time in their lives. One of the first things you have to decide is whether you want to be cremated or buried. Cremation has been around for a very long time and has become more common lately. It actually increases your options.
Cremation Options
Cremation does not preclude having a funeral. You can have a funeral without the decedent present, or you can include the decedent in a casket. The casket can be a rental casket, or it can be a cremation casket. A cremation casket is a special type of casket that is designed to be cremated. Once the remains are cremated, they can be buried, scattered, or returned to the loved ones in an urn. These are just a few common funeral arrangements in Layton, UT. There are many other options for what you can do with cremated remains.
You should call Myers Mortuary to see what sort of services are available. There are some laboratories that press cremated remains into a diamond, some people who use remains to grow trees, and much more.
Burial Options
If you choose burial in a casket, you still have many options. There are options for simple caskets, traditional funerals, and other non traditional means. Funeral arrangements can range from a simple pine box to an ornate casket.
Planning your own funeral might seem morbid, but it is a great way to prevent a lot of pain and frustration for your family. They will not have to immediately begin event planning after you pass away. Choosing a few options, at least, is a great way to relieve them of some stress.
