Why Is Direct Cremation the Simplest Method?

Cremation Society of Milwaukee • March 9, 2020

When your loved one passes away, you need to decide on a body disposition. Direct cremation is a simple method that forgoes the difficulty of traditional methods.

Direct Cremation in Greenfield WI, is the simplest disposition method on the market and that’s all there is to it. There are really only a few other options available. First, traditional funerals and burials. Second, cremation after a funeral. And third, direct cremation. Direct cremation occurs without any other services happening beforehand. Once the cremation paperwork is done, the process takes place and after that, families can do as much or as little as they want to honor a loved one.

Direct Cremation Allows Families More Time to Grieve

A direct cremation is very straightforward. Direct cremation removes all the frills of preparing the deceased, including embalming and paying for a traditional memorial service, which can be very expensive. Even if the family has money to pay for a formal ceremony, direct cremation is attractive to them because it gives them more time to reflect and grieve, and also to make sense of their loved one’s passing. And although the deceased may have had a full life and died in old age, family members still have to deal with their emotions, as well as how to go on with living when they now know their loved one will never be with them again.

Flexibility

It’s not easy making funeral arrangements when you are stressed out and grieving and under pressure. That’s why many turn to direct cremation, which gives them flexibility. They do not need to make the big decisions on any certain timeline. Many time-consuming services and preparations fall away when direct cremation is involved. Once the decision is made for direct cremation, other decisions fall away. Since the deceased is cremated right after death, there is no viewing or funeral service. Body preparation services are longer necessary and any kind of memorial service happens whenever the family wants it to without any time pressures. Moreover, high costs are eliminated, such as renting out a funeral home or church or buying land. And because there is no need, the family can sidestep buying a casket, which can be very expensive as well.

After a loved one passes, it’s not easy to make arrangements quickly when you are grieving and under pressure. Direct cremation in Greenfield, WI is an excellent option because it offers a great deal of freedom from timeframes. Once you choose direct cremation, you’ll get the paperwork in order and the cremation will take place. After that, the family can take all the time they want or need to arrange a memorial service or ash scattering at a later date. That relieves a lot of pressure and can give family members time to travel to the right location for the services.
