If you want to choose direct cremation in Greenfield, WI, there are a lot of options in burying the remains of your loved one. If you have seen a funeral when there wasn't a coffin but instead an urn on a pedestal these occurrences are becoming more common. One reason for this is the effect that one generation has on the next. Traditional burial was the norm when most of our parents were growing up, so they accept it without question. Simultaneously, the younger generations have been widely exposed to a society where cremation accounts for around 50% of fatalities. When you put the two together, you can understand why some people think it's OK to bury cremains or cremated remains. There are other considerations, such as when a family already owns a cemetery space and has already paid for it, or when a deceased loved one want to be cremated but also buried close to a spouse or other family member who chose a conventional burial option. There is, thankfully, a solution that can satisfy everyone's needs. 


Even though many people now prefer to have their loved ones cremated, many traditional cemeteries remain the ultimate resting place for many families. Be careful to inform the staff of your cremation service provider of your decision to utilize them instead of a funeral home. The cemetery's name will already be on the permit when we submit it. This will save you the trouble (and money) of applying for a second license. 


Alternatives to Cemetery 


If you are interested in having your cremated ashes interred in a cemetery, the next step is to choose which burial plot would be most fitting. At a cemetery, cremated remains are typically handled in one of three ways: 


  • Interment of the ashes in a cemetery site 
  • placing the urn in a columbarium, which is an above-ground structure 
  • using an urn garden. 


Traditional 


This is the most sensible option, particularly if your family has established a burial ground or owns plots in a cemetery. My advice is to get in touch with the cemetery ahead of time to inquire about their cremains burial policy. Sometimes, but not always, you may bury many urns in the same plot, but this information may not be freely given; thus, it is important to inquire. 


Columbariums 


As more and more individuals in California choose for cremation, contemporary cemeteries have begun to include columbaria of varying types to meet the needs of the community. All the way from the most basic to the most ornate and sophisticated, these buildings are located above ground. There may be space for a modest exhibit beside the urn, commemorating a loved one's life in addition to the urn itself, in certain columbaria. 


The Art of Urn Garden Design 


There has been a recent trend among cemeteries to provide dedicated areas for urns. Some places even have whole sections devoted to cremation with a wide range of alternatives. Professional landscaping and quiet walkways make many of these cemeteries ideal for last resting places. Some establishments let you bury the body in a bench or other landscape features like obelisks, which are built to seem like natural rocks. 


Funding the purchase of a burial plot for a deceased family member 


If you live in a big city or close to one, you have the luxury of choose between numerous different cemeteries. Be aware that costs vary from property to property and with the option of burial being considered. It's up to you to put forth the effort. Finding the ideal home for you and/or your loved one is a worthwhile investment of your time. 


With the facts presented above you will now have a better perspective in choosing, if you want to have cremation you can consider a direct cremation in Greenfield, WI.
