Direct Cremation Leaves You With Options

Cremation Society of Milwaukee • November 3, 2020

Are you and your family concerned that direct cremation may limit your options for something like a funeral or memorial service? Don’t worry. Those kind of options certainly still exist.

We all know that direct cremation is extremely affordable. But some may be worried that it limits their options when it comes to planning something like a funeral or memorial service. That certainly doesn’t have to be the case. In reality, direct cremation leaves you with many options when it comes to these kind of arrangements. If you or someone you know is looking into direct cremation in Whitefish Bay, WI, consider Cremation Society of Milwaukee. We specialize in direct cremation and have a great deal of experience and expertise with respect thereto. If you need help with cremation, you shouldn’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We can help. And we can also provide you with advice and information related to any additional arrangements that we don’t handle directly. Direct cremation is the perfect solution for many families. Don’t write it off due to a lack of information. You may be surprised to learn that direct cremation makes a lot of sense for you, too.

Opting for direct cremation leaves families with various options for how they’d like to remember their loved ones. Creative cremation ashes ideas or a later memorial service can be part of the process, discussed during cremation discussions to make sure everyone is informed and feels involved. But even if you’d still like to plan a funeral or memorial service, you still have options. You can always work with another funeral home independently, or you can make the arrangements on your own. The latter alternative may require additional work on your part, but it can certainly save you some money. If you get a head start on the planning process, this can also reduce the last-minute stress that might be associated with planning a funeral yourself. The big point is that you still have options, and affordable options at that.

You can also decide to skip the funeral and elect to do something a bit more casual. For example, many families decide to hold a small ceremony when scattering cremated remains. You might only invite a few people and avoid any formal measures (e.g. having someone lead the ceremony). These kind of ceremonies aren’t at all uncommon pursuant to direct cremation. And they’re just another example of the kind of options direct cremation creates.

Planning a memorial service after direct cremation is often the most logical solution. Because a memorial service is generally held weeks after the loss of a loved one, you have plenty of additional time to plan the event. Memorial services also tend be less formal than funerals, and this gives you a great deal of flexibility when it comes to the tone and tenor of the event. You really can do what you want and do so the way you want to. Memorial services contribute to that same sense of healing and community that a funeral creates. They can be a great alternative that you can consider after direct cremation, and they don’t have to be terribly expensive, either.

If you are interested in direct cremation, consider reaching out to Cremation Society of Milwaukee. We are always happy to discuss your options and provide you with any support that we can.
