Are Cremation Services Unique Enough For You?

Planning your own final services can feel very strange, but it’s all for the benefit of your family. You can get what you want and your family doesn’t have to work on any plans when you pass away and they are grieving. You can even pay for the services in advance, if you’d like. You know that you’re a unique individual—there are no two people alike, after all, and perhaps you would like unique services. Should you choose cremation services in Port Washington, NY? Are those services unique enough for you?

Cremation services have been around for thousands of years so in that way, they aren’t all that unique. Likewise, they have gained a lot of ground in recent decades. They are now hugely popular and are used in about half of all final services. So what’s unique about them? If you choose cremation, you are going with the exact same thing as half of the others who have used final services before you recently.

While the cremation process itself operates in much the same manner every time (though there is also biocremation, that uses water instead of heat), it’s what you do around this disposition method that makes it truly unique. To that end, there are nearly limitless options.

If you decide to move forward with cremation plans, you then have to think about what kind of service you want. Some people go with a memorial service that feels like a funeral with traditions and certain steps included. But no two memorial services are alike because of who they honor. You can do creative things like have a memory table, have someone create a video with pictures and your favorite songs, and so on.

There are also memorial services that are known as ‘celebrations of life’ that focus on a life well-lived instead of death. You can have family members organize a picnic in the park, go to a ball game for your favorite team, or endless other things. Celebrations of life are all about remembering you for who you are and celebrating the life you lived while you were around.

You will also want to think about your final resting place. There are nearly limitless options there as well. If you want your remains scattered, where should they go? You can even choose multiple locations. You can ask to be placed in mini-urns and distributed among family. You can have your ashes buried with a loved one. And the list goes on and one.
