The first decision that needs to be made is about the disposition of the body. This term refers to how the physical remains of the body are handled. You can choose a traditional in-the-ground burial or cremation. If you choose a burial, you will soon see how the this is the option that costs the most.
There are two types of cremation. “Traditional” and direct. So-called traditional cremation is done after embalming, body preparation, and a viewing at a memorial service. Direct cremation is done without any body preparation, soon after death.
Direct Cremation gives you an affordable alternative to an expensive funeral with all the trimmings. Direct Cremation at Harmony Funeral Homes starts $559.00. A direct cremation is when the physical remains are cremated without being first embalmed and prepared for a public viewing. The body is cremated soon after death and the family is given the cremated remains thereafter.
A funeral can easily run you upward of $7000, with a large chunk of that going to the casket. Instead of sinking six months worth of house payments into something that has a single, temporary purpose, you can choose direct cremation. Direct Cremation is an affordable, equally honorable option. You can easily personalize the service to scatter the ashes to fit the person’s passions and interests.
