Losing a loved one is the most difficult thing that a person can go through. Even if their loved one had been sick for a while and they saw it coming, it is still incredibly hard. Not only does the individual need to grieve, but they also need to make the funeral arrangements. This can a lot on anyone. When it comes to making the arrangements, there are many options to consider. The first one is whether to have their loved one buried or cremated. Of the two options, cremation Middletown has more benefits.
Cremation is Less Expensive
It costs much less for a cremation than a burial. When a person has their loved one cremated, they don’t need to pay the cost for the embalming, the makeup, and the viewing. Also, there is no need for a casket, which can be very expensive. The cost of an urn is much less expensive.
Flexibility
Cremation provides a great deal of flexibility. When a person is being buried, the family is on a very strict timeline when it comes to the viewing and the funeral. This is not the case with cremation. The memorial service can be held during the cremation, or any time after it. This gives the family time to plan the service so that everyone can attend.
A Personal Touch
When a person has their loved one buried, they don’t have many options. They can choose a casket, a burial plot, and a headstone, but none of that is really personal. This is what happens during all burials. When a person has their loved one cremated, they have options. They can place the ashes in an urn in the cemetery, or they can keep the urn in their home. They can also scatter the ashes in the loved one’s favorite place, such as the beach, an open field, or a stream where they loved to fish. There are many more options for a person’s loved one’s final resting place when they are cremated.
Cremation Middletown is the most inexpensive, flexible, and personal way to put a loved one to rest. The professionals at John P. Condon Funeral Home can help the family make the funeral arrangements, with the most care and sympathy possible.
