Understanding the Process and Benefits of Direct Cremation
Cremation Society of Milwaukee • June 1, 2020
Direct cremation is for those who are on a budget. If you don’t want to plan an elaborate traditional funeral service, then direct cremation may be best for you.
Direct cremation is a low-cost choice
for families who are looking for a very simple final service for a loved one who passed away. It also works well for those who want to pre-plan their services and want something simple for themselves. This is why direct cremation in Milwaukee, WI
looks so attractive to many people.
With direct cremation, also known as “basic cremation” or “simple cremation” there is no service before the cremation. The provider you choose will walk you through all the steps of direct cremation and you will notice there is no viewing and no funeral service involved.
What’s Included with Direct Cremation?
You will be paying for the following services. The funeral home will pick up the body wherever it happens to be located. That means your home, a hospital, a senior living facility and many other places. Then cremation takes place once the paperwork is complete. Afterwards, the funeral director will bestow on to you the ashes from the cremation in a simple container or an urn of your choice.
What You Have to Sacrifice
Direct cremation eliminates the need for many things you’d get if you chose a more traditional service. In particular, there is no cost for extra services, and no cost for an expensive casket, embalming and other such products and services. Unless you decide to bury the ashes, there is no need for a plot, a digging of the grave or a headstone marker. Without all of these items, your plans will become more affordable. But remember, with direct cremation there is absolutely no visitation possible.
Direct Cremation Allows Family to Buy Time
Direct cremation can be more convenient for loved ones. A family might not have expected that someone to pass on. Placing time between the cremation and final services can help families mourn at their own pace. Setting a date in the future for a memorial can also help families come together, even if they are spread apart.
Flexibility
The good thing about a direct cremation is that you can always make arrangements and plans
for a memorial celebration weeks and even months afterward. And having some sort of memorial, also sometimes called a celebration of life, gives funeral guests enough time to make travel plans to attend the ceremony. And since a memorial service is usually less structured and less formal so you can personalize things however you want for your loved one’s unique personality.
