Have you noticed when you engage in conversation dealing with dying, or you go to a funeral involving a traditional burial, it seems everyone says they’re going to be cremated!
Why? Because quite frankly they have no idea what they’re talking about.
Some fail to remember that in order to be cremated you still need the services of a funeral director and funeral home.
Did you know there are 72 decisions that need to be made on the darkest day of your surviving family member’s lives.
Cremated and scattered is a knee jerk reaction to the entire death process.
That’s what people say when they are defensive about the subject.
We’re talking death here. The loss of a loved one. What about the celebration of a life that’s been lived? What about remembering and wanting to be remembered?
Are people pulling out the “C” word because they have no clue as to what they are talking about? YES!
Think about it. Do you really want someone to come by the house and dispose of a body with no service, no nothing?
Just poof, and erase a life that’s been lived. A life that had meaning.
Cremation is really no different than traditional burial. You can have the same type service and viewing of the body for closure as you would for full body burial.
There are all types of options to consider.
Saying you’re going to be cremated is one thing, but pre planning your cremation and your memorial service and memorialization options is quite another.
Think about what you say before you say it so you won’t come off sounding like a complete idiot.
Ok, so you want to be cremated? Well then make your arrangements and take that burden off your loved ones by pre paying. Now that’s total piece of mind and one of the best damn gifts you can ever give to your family!
