Cremation Service
The primary component of a cremation package is the cremation service itself. This includes the transportation of the deceased to the crematorium, the actual cremation process, and the return of the cremated remains to the family. The cremation service is usually performed by licensed professionals who follow strict protocols and ensure a respectful and dignified process. They handle all the necessary paperwork and permits required for the cremation.
Funeral Home Facilities
Many cremation packages also include the use of funeral home facilities for various purposes. These facilities may include a viewing room for family and friends to pay their last respects, a chapel for holding a memorial service, and a reception area for gathering and sharing memories. The funeral home facilities provide a comfortable and appropriate space for the family and loved ones to come together and celebrate the life of the deceased.
Cremation Urn
One of the essential components of a cremation package is a cremation urn. After the cremation process, the cremated remains are placed in an urn for final disposition. The package usually includes options for selecting an urn that suits the preferences and taste of the family. Cremation urns come in various materials, sizes, and designs. They serve as a respectful and meaningful vessel to hold the cremated remains, providing a lasting tribute to the departed loved one.
Additional Services
In addition to the core components mentioned above, cremation packages may include various additional services. These can range from assistance with obituaries and memorial announcements to the coordination of floral arrangements and transportation for family members and guests. The goal of these additional services is to relieve the family from the burden of logistical arrangements and provide support during this challenging time.
