Direct Cremation and Early Planning
Cremation Society of Milwaukee • March 22, 2021
Are you and your family interested in getting a head start when it comes to thinking about direct cremation? That’s always a good idea, and we can help you do just that whenever you can.
It is never too soon to begin thinking about cremation. Direct cremation may be somewhat unique, but it still makes a lot of sense to begin the planning process as early as possible. Getting things out of the way early is good for you, and it is good for your family, too. All you need it someone to work with. If you or someone you know is looking into direct cremation in Greenfield, WI, consider Cremation Society of Milwaukee. We are always ready to work with you, even if it seems like it is a bit early to do so. We believe in being prepared and addressing your needs as early as you see fit. Generally speaking, sooner really is better.
Cremation Society of Milwaukee is strongly committed to handling your affairs with compassion and dignity. We begin working with you as soon as you decide to begin the planning process. And while you may think that direct cremation means there is less to plan, there are still a few things to discuss and think about. That’s what we are here for. We want to make your life easier in every way that we can. And we take that responsibility very seriously. Every burden we can remove from your life is something that we care about.
So that is why we advise our clients to begin thinking about cremation early. There are a number of reasons to get a head start.
The first reason to plan early is that you can get a much better sense of your remaining budget and what might be required to plan any other events you might have in mind. Many families want to avoid a traditional funeral home so that they can plan their own event, perhaps a very small gathering for the closest friends and family. These are often the kind of families who turn to direct cremation. So early planning can give you a much better sense of costs associated with direct cremation and the kind of time and money you can commit to other items—whatever they may be. This is a huge advantage. Last-minute planning
may make it more difficult to handle any additional events, even if they are more like a casual gathering among close relatives.
Another reason for early planning is relieving your family of any additional stress and anxiety associated with the process itself. For example, there is some paperwork to complete and some information that we will need before proceeding. None of it is terribly complicated or overwhelming. But getting it taken care of sooner ensures that you can spend more of your time doing the things that really matter when the time comes. Losing a loved one is difficult, and you may wish to focus on seeing close friends and family during that time. The last thing you want to worry about is paperwork or additional information. And you really don’t have to if you get in touch with us early. Generally speaking, that’s better for everyone. Remember, we want to make your life easier. A head start is a great way to do that.
