Funeral Extras You Can Skip With Cremation Services

When a loved one passes on, there are a lot of decisions to make. Of course, you are emotional and it can be hard to move forward, but at the same time, you want to make sure you get your loved one’s needs met. You will choose a funeral home to work with and the initial decision you will have to make is whether you will use a funeral or cremation services for Saskatoon, SK for the person in question. Both are completely honorable and respectful and you can meet your loved one’s needs with either as well. But there are certain extras that you don’t have to worry about, and can skip, if you choose cremation services. Here are some such extras.


Embalming

Embalming is a completely optional service that you never have to have. However, many people do use it when traditional services are happening, especially with an open casket. IF you are going for cremation services, you definitely don’t have to worry about this option. Your loved one doesn’t need it as cremation will take care of their remains in a different manner.


Caskets

You can buy caskets for funerals, rent them for visitations, and have a lot of other options to consider. But when you are cremating your loved one in a direct manner, there’s no need for a casket of any kind, at any time. Your loved one goes into cremation within a few days of their death and after that, they are placed in a simple container (or the urn of your choice). There are no caskets involved.


Funeral Services

While you can have a memorial service any time you want after your loved one’s cremation, there’s no need for a funeral service before the cremation takes place. Funerals can take a lot of planning and they can be costly as well, depending on what you do. Memorial services can be whatever you want them to be and can be inexpensive of even free. There’s no need to make funeral plans if you are having direct cremation done.


Burial Vaults

Burial vaults go around a casket in the ground to protect the loved one’s remains, and to protect the integrity of the ground around the casket. When you go with cremation, you can scatter ashes, keep the remain, or bury the urn in your home garden without a vault. You don’ have to worry about that extra cost, either.


Body Preparation

Your loved one’s body would have to be prepared for their funeral and visitation service. They might need to wear the clothes you want and a makeup artist and hair specialist would help to make them look natural so your family would be able to see them in a peaceful state. When you go with cremation, your loved one can be dressed in whatever you want, but there’s not much preparation that has to take place.
