Direct Cremation Allows You to Mourn

Cremation Society of Milwaukee • June 22, 2020

If you are in grief after the death of a loved one and can’t even make a call to set up a body disposition, direct cremation gives you time to have a celebratory ceremony anytime you want.

A family member can prepare for one’s death so that the burden of the cost of the body disposition doesn’t have to be on your shoulders. This is called a preneed, or a preneed contract. The family member will distribute funds to the funeral home of their choice that is not accessed until their death. Thus, there will be enough money to take care of any funeral service. On many occasions, though, a preneed is not set in place and you have to shell out the money to take care of your loved one. That’s why many families choose an on-site crematory for direct cremation in Greenfield, WI to keep arrangements simple, cost effective, and to give them time to process and mourn their loved one.

The Timing of Services Prohibit Mourning

Burials have to happen right after the family member dies, so waiting even a week inter a casket goes against proper funeral etiquette. The family can feel rushed and are still in that place where they have yet to accept that their deceased is gone. They have little time to plan and prepare for their final goodbyes to honor the deceased. That’s why direct cremation is a good choice to make if you are in duress.

Direct Cremation Buys You Time

Direct cremation is the simplest method to handle the deceased. When direct cremation is chosen, it is much easier for loved ones who live busy lives or who live half-way around the world to come together. This gathering of all family members for a celebratory memorial can take place any time, on a set date so that everyone can attend. Once the funeral director gives you the ashes of your loved one, you have time to mourn until you are ready to make celebratory arrangements. Direct cremation, thus, allows you to buy time. Even an arrangement a month after the loved one has died is fine. In this way, all family members are given enough time to make travel plans to attend the ceremony.

Direct Cremation No Longer Carries a Stigma

Cremation of a loved one is gaining popularity and because direct cremation is more acceptable, it no longer comes with a stigma. It’s only you and your family members who are making the decision, and people who question your choice are just giving you an uninformed opinion. That’s why licensed funeral directors will walk you through what happens in a direct cremation so that you do in fact know truth from fiction.

For family members who need to buy time in order to mourn, direct cremation in Greenfield, WI is the perfect solution.
