Aspects to Think About for Cremation vs. Burial
Burial and cremation are different, and there are many options that additionally fall under the umbrella of each. We can explain these in-depth for you.
For now, here is a quick guide with aspects to consider for both.
Traditional Burial
Burial is the traditional choice. The loved one’s body is preserved and prepared for either an open casket display during a wake, service, or funeral, or prepared to be present in a closed casket. When all is said and done, their casket is removed to their final place of rest – usually a burial site with a marker, though some people choose above-ground entombment in a mausoleum.
Whichever option you choose, there will be a physical place you can visit to remember your loved one and honor their life.
