Cremation Services Are Highly Personal

January 20, 2020
cremation services in Shillington, PA

If you have never organized cremation services in Shillington, PA, you aren’t alone. And having not been through the process before, you may not know that much about it. Cremation is becoming highly popular around the country and is used as a final disposition method about half the time. While it has been around for thousands of years, the culture is accepting it more and utilizing it because of its versatility and cost-effective nature. Some people feel that cremation isn’t as personal as a traditional funeral and burial, but that’s just not the case. In fact, many times, it can be even more personal. Here are a few things that make it a unique experience for every family.

No Two Memorial Services Are Alike

While the cremation process itself is the same for everyone, what you do after that service is completely unique. Even if you have a traditional memorial service that feels more like a funeral and follows those ceremonies, the person you are honoring is unique and that makes the service one-of-a-kind. But you can do a lot of things to personalize the service as well. You can play special music, have people dress in a certain color, hold the service in a park or family home or do any number of other things. Cremation gives you the freedom to honor your loved one in whatever way you see fit.

Products Are Customizable

When someone is cremated, the family can choose a package from the funeral home that includes everything they need. That means the funeral home will provide a simple container for their loved one’s ashes. But a lot of families like to select an urn of their choosing to make things more special. Urns come in many different shapes, sizes, styles, colors, and more. You can have them engraved or specialized in any way you want. This is a unique way to showcase your loved one’s personality, some of the things they liked, and give them a beautiful container for their memorial service and maybe beyond.

Open Final Resting Place

With a burial, the final resting place is a cemetery and that’s that. With cremation, you can use a cemetery, but you don’t have to. The final resting place is much more open to possibilities, which can make the experience feel more unique and personalized. You can spread your loved one’s ashes somewhere that was special to them, for example.

There are no right or wrong decisions when you are going back and forth between a traditional funeral and cremation services in Shillington, PA. You simply have to decide what’s best for your family in this situation. The professionals at Bean Funeral Homes & Cremation Services, Inc. are here to help you implement whatever you decide. We understand your loved one was special and we want to help you make their services unique as well. Call us at (610) 376-1120 and set up a time to meet with our funeral director at 129 E Lancaster Ave Shillington, PA 19607.
