Cremation Society of Milwaukee • November 9, 2020

Are you and your family looking for a straightforward alternative to burial? Direct cremation may well be the answer that you are looking for. We can help with a simpler approach.

Every family is incredibly different, especially when it comes to things like funeral plans. And many families are looking for a no-frills approach, something simple and straightforward. Direct cremation may be the perfect solution for those families. It cuts through many of the arrangements you might otherwise find yourself making. And it can significantly reduce your expenses. If you or someone you know is looking into direct cremation in Greenfield, WI, consider Cremation Society of Milwaukee. We believe that a simpler alternative really is ideal for many families, and that’s why we do what we do. We know there is real demand for service that isn’t complicated and expensive. So if you’re looking for something different, give us a call. We make your needs our priority, and we take those needs very seriously. You should also get in touch with us if you simply need more information about direct cremation. That kind of information can be incredibly helpful. 

 

So why opt for a simpler solution? Maybe your life is as hectic as it needs to be already. Maybe you would like to spend more time doing the things that matter, like spending time with friends and family. Maybe this is a particularly difficult time in your life. Funerals and memorial services can contribute to the healing process, but that isn’t necessarily true for everyone. Some families are different. Some would prefer to mourn more privately. There is nothing wrong with that. Put simply, there are a lot of reasons you may wish to avoid the funeral planning process. It isn’t for everyone. And you may even think of that process as an undue burden. There’s no reason to force things. Most importantly, a funeral or memorial service may be inconsistent with the wishes of your loved one. If they left behind or discussed instructions and didn’t want a service or ceremony, it is important to respect those wishes. 

 

For those seeking a simpler alternative, direct cremation makes a lot of sense. There is a lot to know about direct cremation (and cremation in general), but the most important thing to know is that direct cremation does not include additional services like funeral planning. We handle cremation, and we make sure you obtain the cremated remains of your loved one (in a container that you’ve selected). That’s what we do. We don’t make funeral arrangements. We don’t handle viewings or visitations. We don’t plan memorial services. That winds up saving you a lot of time and money.  

 

Again, direct cremation isn’t for everyone. Some families need all the help they can get. Some are committed to a certain kind of funeral, and they cannot do it alone. But in the event you wish to forego a funeral service (or if you would prefer to plan it on your own), direct cremation may be the perfect solution. It may be worth learning more about direct cremation if this sounds like something that would work for you and your family. That kind of information may help you when it comes to making a decision about what works best. 

 

If you are interested in direct cremation, consider reaching out to Cremation Society of Milwaukee. We may only handle direct cremation, but we have a great deal of experience with cremation in general, and we would be happy to answer your questions or address any concerns you may have.
