The decision to take care of funeral and burial arrangements in advance is not just practical. Taking time to address these essential decisions also means removing a burden from the shoulders of grieving loved ones. Even if the plans include cremation, there is the need to give some thought to the selection of Caskets and Urns in Orange City FL. Here are some tips that will help.
Choosing a Temporary Casket
Depending on when the cremation will take place, it makes sense to check into options for temporary caskets. Many funeral homes maintain at least one or two on hand that can be used for memorial services if the client wishes to allow loved ones to view the body prior to cremation. Typically, these are equipped with liners and are available for a small fee.
Once the memorial service is over, the funeral home staff will move the casket to an area where the body can be prepared for transport to the crematorium. After the cremation is complete, the ashes are placed in the urn selected in advance by the client.
The Selection of the Urn
Urns come in all sorts of materials and shapes. This makes it easy to select something that is understated but elegant, or go with a design that reflects the most flamboyant personality of the client. There is even the option of having the urn customized in some manner, such as adding the logo of a favorite sports team or engraving the surface with a much-loved quotation. The nice thing about the urn is that it can be placed into storage at the funeral home until it is needed, or the client can keep it at his or her residence and arrange for a loved one to deliver it to the crematorium after the client passes away.
