Witnessing The Cremation Service

If you have chosen cremation services in Roslyn Heights, NY for a loved one who has passed on, that person will be transported from the place of their death to the cremation provider facility. That might be the beginning and the end of your involvement in the process unless you have a memorial service to plan for later. If that’s what you want, that’s perfectly fine. However, not everyone wants to have cremation happen without them. If you want to be more involved in the cremation, by perhaps witnessing the process as it occurs, that is often possible, depending on the provider you choose. Here are a few reasons you might want to be present when your loved one is cremated.

Reason 1: Say Goodbye

You can say goodbye to someone in a number of ways. A memorial service is often a good place. If you were there when the person died, you can do it then as well. But right before the cremation process occurs, it’s your final chance to say goodbye or anything else you want to say. If you want that last chance, witnessing the cremation will give it to you.

Reason 2: Gain Closure

Some people get closure from seeing a person in their casket at the visitation. When you have the cremation done, there may not be a visitation (if you go with direct cremation, there definitely won’t be one). So instead of getting closure that way, you might gain closure through viewing the cremation process itself. You understand that cremation is final and as you watch your loved one enter the process, you know they are gone and aren’t coming back.

Reason 3: Ensure Dignity

You have chosen a funeral home that guarantees your loved one will be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. But there’s nothing wrong with wanting to see how they are treated with your own eyes so you have peace of mind over their cremation later. When you watch the cremation process, you know without a doubt that they were in good hands throughout the process.

Reason 4: Avoid Leaving Them

While your loved one is not really there any longer, their body is still present and you may not feel right about sending them into cremation alone. You don’t have to leave them just yet. You can be with them, watching the process, so you can see them through their services to the very end.
