If you like the idea of cremation services in Wernersville, PA, you might be considering it for a loved one’s final service method. However, your loved one will be going into cremation alone. Even if you want to witness the cremation, your loved one will be going into that crematory on their own. You might not want them to be alone like that, but there are things that you can send into cremation with them that might give you comfort and peace of mind even further over the process. Here are some of the things that you can send along with them.
Your loved one can wear whatever you want them to wear and take those clothes through the cremation process with them. You can choose whatever you want them to wear and those items can be cremated along with their body. You want to make sure you don’t choose things that you want to keep since they cannot be returned.
You may want to have your family in the crematory with your loved one and while that’s not possible, they can take a picture of all of you together with them. Tucking a picture into their hand or in a pocket can help you to feel like you are with them and they are not alone as they are being cremated.
It is hard to let go of someone special to you, but you can write them a letter to say that final goodbye or let them know how much they meant to you and how much you love them. That letter is something that can go through the cremation process with them so they have your words of love with them at all times. That can be another comfort to you.
If your loved one enjoyed stuffed animals or had a lot of pets, putting a stuffed dog or cat in with them might feel natural. The animal is a comfort item and it’s something that can go through the cremation process with them. Knowing they have something soft and cozy can allow you to feel comfort about the process as well.
Some people have a reading habit and if your loved one always had a book in their hands, it doesn’t seem right to send them into cremation empty-handed. Make sure you don’t send a book of theirs that you want to keep, but try to send a favorite you know they would appreciate having along with them.
