I’m Going To Be Cremated

That’s usually the knee jerk reaction someone gives whenever there’s a conversation about funerals.

“I don’t want to deal with all that casket stuff.” “I’m going to be cremated when I die.”

Really? Where are you going to get this done? Did you just really even think about what you said before you opened your mouth?

No, you didn’t. You have no idea what you’re family is in store for on the darkest day of their life. No idea.

Now if you really are going to be cremated when you die, then make your pre arrangements now. Take the burden off of your spouse, your family, and friends.

Pre pay and freeze the price and carry an ID card around in your personal effects that says: “At time of death call this number.”

Then the next time you say: “I’m going to be cremated.” Pull out your card and proudly let everyone know that you HAVE taken care of your final demise, and by doing so HAVE taken the burden off of all family members.

See now? That was soooo easy wasn’t it?

The Truth Behind Cremations!

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!
