Are you and your family seeking additional information about direct cremation? You may be surprised to learn that it is a simple and straightforward solution that just might make sense.
Making decisions about cremation and burial isn’t always easy. But the first step is to obtain information about your options. That information can empower you to make a decision that you and your family are comfortable with. That’s essential. If you or someone you know is looking into direct cremation, consider Cremation Society of Milwaukee. We believe that information is extremely valuable, and that it is our responsibility to provide you and your family with the kind of support that you deserve. That’s why we are always available to answer your questions or address any concerns that you might have. Then you will be better able to determine whether or not direct cremation is right for you.
The best way to learn more about direct cremation
is to give us a call or meet with one of our funeral directors in person. There really is no substitute to speaking with a trained professional who has years of experience working with families like yours. He or she can walk you through the process and discuss things in greater detail. They can also discuss your budget and whether or not direct cremation is the right fit given your needs and wishes. This kind of back and forth is really important. You can also find information online or at a local library. You can even speak with other families who have precious experience with cremation. But working with us directly will likely be extremely beneficial, as well.
Direct cremation is ultimately pretty straightforward. It means that we do not offer the kind of non-essential services that many funeral homes provide. This also means that we can save you a considerable amount of money. By avoiding certain kinds of plans and arrangements (e.g. handling a visitation or funeral service), we can instead focus on cremation itself—something that’s an absolute necessity. You can generally make these arrangements from the comfort of your own home, as well. Again, the big point is that this is a very simple process and one that’s designed to work with your schedule and your budget. Many families are looking for a simpler approach, and direct cremation is consistent with that kind of objective. Of course, you will still enjoy the care of a licensed funeral director and the kind of support that you expect. You just won’t find us trying to sell you things that you really don’t need.
Note that direct cremation does not preclude an otherwise arranged funeral or memorial service. Many families prefer direct cremation in the near-term while still opting for some kind of ceremony down the road. There is nothing wrong with that. In fact, a small ceremony often accompanies things like the scattering of cremated remains. That’s just one alternative that’s available after direct cremation. And it is the kind of alternative that makes a lot of sense for many families.
