With cremation services in Tigard, OR<\/a> becoming more widely accepted, people in the past who might not have considered cremation are now doing so. Because of this, we get a lot of questions as people are trying to learn more about cremation and if it might be right for them or a loved one. To help you understand this option better, we are going to discuss some of the most commonly asked questions we hear.<\/p>\n

Can You Have a Funeral with Cremation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many people are surprised to learn that yes, in fact, you can have a funeral service with cremation. In fact, a funeral service<\/a> with cremation works the exact same as it does with a burial. The only difference is that after the funeral service, rather than going to the cemetery, the body will be taken to the crematory.<\/p>\n

Does the Body Have to be Embalmed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you choose services such as direct cremation where they are no visitation, funerals, or other services prior to the cremation, then no, the body does not need to be embalmed.<\/p>\n

However, if you choose to hold services before the cremation, it may be best to have the body embalmed to allow it to be presentable for services such as a visitation or funeral.<\/p>\n

Can the Cremated Remains be Buried?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While many people choose cremation<\/a> for the freedom of having their ashes released into the wild, many people wish to have the ashes buried. This could be because they want to be in a certain plot next to the family or maybe even due to religious reasons. In any case, cremated remains are able to be buried.<\/p>\n

This is typically done by placing the ashes in a cremation urn and having them buried just like with a casket burial. The location where they are buried may require a cremation vault to be included to help the earth stay stable as well as protect the urn.<\/p>\n

Is Cremation Less Expensive Than Burial?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cremation can be one of the least expensive options for body disposition. This is especially true when families choose direct cremation as the only expense is the cremation itself since no other services are held.<\/p>\n

Of course, if families do decide to hold additional services either prior to or after the cremation, this can increase the overall price significantly.<\/p>\n

Do I need a Casket With Cremation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Families do not need to purchase a casket for those who are being cremated. Even if they decide to hold services prior to the cremation such as a funeral, many times families will have an option to rent a casket for these services. This casket will then be taken, cleaned, and relined to be used again.<\/p>\n
