Participating In The Actual Cremation Services
When you choose cremation services in Roslyn, NY for a loved one, you might think your loved one will be transported to the cremation provider’s facility and that’s the last you have to do with the process. If that’s the way you want it, that absolutely can be the way things go. But other people want to have more participation in the actual process itself. You can be more involved than just planning the services. You can actually be present at your loved one’s cremation and there are many reasons why you might feel led to do that.
1-Say A Final Goodbye
While the memorial service you are going to have later is a great chance to say goodbye as well, there are often other people at that service, and you might want to say goodbye before the service ever takes place. Instead, you can say goodbye to your loved one before they are placed into the cremation chamber and have that final word you wanted to have before they are turned into ash.
2-To Get Closure Over The Death
IF all you see is the urn at a cremation service later, you might feel you would have trouble coming to terms with your loved one’s death. But if you are able to witness the cremation itself, it can be easier for you to get closure over the fact that the person has passed on and is not coming back. If you need that sense of closure in your grief, going to see the cremation is a good idea.
3-Comfort With The Process
While cremation is more accepted and popular today than ever before, some people still have issues with the process or have questions about it. When you participate in and view the cremation taking place, that can alleviate your concerns. You will know, for example, that your loved one isn’t being cremated with anyone else and that those taking care of the process are acting in the utmost respectful, honoring way.
4-To Be With Them
Even though your loved one is gone, their body is still with you and you may not feel right about them going through cremation alone. If it feels right for you to simply be there for them, that might be the right direction for you to take.
