    Options For Cremated Remains

    When you go with cremation services in Ellenton, FL for a loved one, not only are you honoring them with a respectful method, but you also give yourself a lot of options. You can have whatever kind of memorial service you want, for example, at any time you want to have it. You can also do a variety of different things with their remains. Here are a few options for the remains. And, keep in mind, there’s no timeline for the decision so you can take your time and move forward with confidence when you are ready.

     

    Place Them In An Urn

    Any cremation package you get from the provider will come with a simple container for your loved one’s remains. While that works just fine, it’s little more than a cardboard box and many families want something different for their loved ones. You can choose an urn for them that can be on display at any memorial service you might have. You can also keep it in the family home in a place of honor if you choose to do so.

     

    Bury Them

    While many people think cremation means that burial isn’t an option, it most certainly is. You can bury cremated remains in the cemetery, as you would a casket after a funeral. But you also have the option of burying remains in other locations. You might place them beneath a family garden, for example, in a park, or other locations that allow that type of burial.

     

    Scattering

    One of the most popular things to do with cremated remains, and something you might picture when you think of cremation services, is to scatter the remains in a special location. If your loved one was always out fishing on the water, taking their remains out on a boat and releasing them into that water might feel like the right way to go. You can scatter them over a garden, around family land, or even in several locations.

    If you want to keep a piece of your loved one close by, you could get a piece of cremation jewelry and put a little piece of their remains inside that item. You can wear the piece and it will remain close to your heart. You can also display it at home or keep it in another place of honor between uses.

     

    Mix The Remains Into Art

    Remains can actually be mixed with liquid glass, paint, or clay and be made into a unique piece of art. The resulting piece is going to be a special item to you and something you might pass down through your family over the years to come. Preplanning relieves your family of that burden.

     

    Keep Them At Home

    It’s also quite possible to keep your loved one at home on display. You can put them on a fireplace mantel in their urn, in the china hutch, on a kitchen cabinet, or a number of other places to keep them a part of your family after cremation services in Ellenton, FL.
