Contrary to what most people believe, cremation does not limit
one's choices. The choice of cremation does not eliminate a
funeral service. A funeral service followed by cremation need
be no different than a funeral service followed by ground burial.
Following the funeral service and cremation, the cremated remains
are usually placed in an urn before being committed to a final
resting place. The cremation urn may be interred in an existing
family burial plot, interred in a special cremation section
at a cemetery or placed in an indoor or outdoor cemetery columbarium.

Scattering cremated remains may be done at a designated place
on land or water in accordance with state and local laws.
Scattering cremated remains on someone's private property requires
their permission. It is not recommended to scatter on your personal
property (should your home be sold) or on public property where
others may come into contact with the cremated remains. For
many people, it is important to have a permanent place to go
to visit. This allows family and friends the ability to remember
and celebrate a life that has been lived and touched others.
Can there be funeral services or ceremonies
if cremation is chosen?
Cremation does not limit, but in fact increases the options
available. The options for ceremonies prior to or following
the cremation can include the selection of a casket or an urn,
visitation with the body present (or memorial visitation where
the urn is the focal point), a display of photographs or personal
effects and awards, the location of the funeral ceremony and
selection of music.
