Generally, cremation is cheaper than burial at major cemetery / crematoria complexes. However, you should discuss the matter with your Funeral Director who will be able to advice you of the precise cost relevant to your particular locality and requirements.
Yes, it is forbidden by Orthodox Jews, Muslims and some other religions. Most Christian denominations, including Roman Catholic, allow cremation. It is the normal method of disposition of the dead for Sikhs, Hindus, Parsees and Buddhists.
Services for burial and/or cremation can be the same, apart from the form of committal. The service may take place in one's own church or funeral chapel with a short committal service at the crematorium. Alternatively, the whole service may be conducted elsewhere with no service at the crematorium or you may arrange for your own clergy/celebrant to conduct the whole service at the crematorium. The form of service can be discussed with your clergy/celebrant and your Funeral Director.
No. A civil ceremony can be conducted or there may be no ceremony at all.
Some request that their cremated remains be scattered at a location that holds special significance, perhaps a rose garden or in the ocean. Some families choose to take ashes home. The container that ashes are placed in at the crematorium is a hard plastic container, the ashes can be transferred into a more suitable container if required. How and where the remains are distributed is the personal choice of the family.
The cremation may not take place on the day but will follow as soon as possible after the service within a time frame recommended by health regulators (usually within six hours from arrival but may be up to 24 hours).
Yes.
No. The only exceptions permitted to this rule are in the case of a mother and baby or twin children when some crematoria will accept both in the same coffin if the next of kin requests that the two be cremated together.
Yes. People are permitted to attend if they wish, however, advance notice is required and arrangements as to timing need to be made.
This is a decision that must rest with the parents. Children suffer grief and should be encouraged to express their emotions. Given the opportunity to attend the funeral of someone they loved and cared about, children will be allowed to sort out the finality of death in their own minds and deal with it accordingly. If a child expresses a definite wish to attend the funeral that wish should not be discouraged. Each individual, child and adult, will react differently.
