Although still not accepted in many cultures, cremation is a concluding phase of letting go of a dead body and has been done for generations. For those people who do accept the method, cremation is on the increase due to the rising costs of a traditional burial.
The method of cremation is reasonably simple. To begin with the funeral director must have authorization from the deceased close family allowing the funeral home to proceed with a cremation. Once this has been obtained then the planning of the service can start.
The service which is organised is alike to a traditional service in which hymns and songs can be played, speeches read out and friends and family can pay their respects to the deceased.
At the actual time of cremation, the funeral director must ensure all jewellery and other pieces of metal such as pacemakers, metal legs and teeth are removed. This is done to avoid any technical accidents.
The corpse is then placed inside a casket or wooden chest which can be burned easily during the cremation process. Identification of the body will also take place to ensure remains are sent to the right family.
After the burning procedure, thirty minutes or so is taken for cooling down. Any fragments are then put onto a table where the crematory person will remove any metal debris either by hand or by using a big magnet.
After this procedure, the bones are then placed into a processor and pulverized into powder. These ‘cremains’ are then placed in the family’s chosen urn. These urns are then normally kept in the family home for years to come.
Although the cremation process is easy and quick it is also a realistically priced way to say a respectable goodbye to your loved one.
