CREMATION SERVICE

Cremation Services for Fayetteville, NC

The passing of a loved one is a difficult time for friends and family of the recently passed. There are many things that you must consider when it comes to funeral preparations. The choice you make will depend upon several factors such as the last wishes of the passed, any legal will, the financial ability to pay for any funeral services, and more. Cremation is a common service that many people choose to have done upon their passing. 

Types of Cremation Services

  • Direct Cremation (Your funeral home of choice will coordinate this): This is a minimal service that cremates the body of the passed and returns it to the family.


  • Private Viewing with Direct Cremation (Your funeral home of choice will coordinate this): Private viewing is not the same as the traditional funeral that most of us have experienced. A private viewing is much simpler where the cleaned body of the deceased is placed on a cot or table and covered with a cloth, exposing only the head of the body. It is only meant for identification purposes.


  • Memorial Service with Cremation (Your funeral home of choice will coordinate this): Before the memorial service the body is cremated. The remains are then placed in a purchased urn that will be present at the memorial service. The remains are then released to the next-of-kin after the memorial service.


  • Traditional Funeral with Cremation (Your funeral home of choice will coordinate this): This service combines both direct cremation and the traditional funeral service that many of us are accustomed to. You can have a traditional funeral service that has been thoughtfully and carefully planned out followed by cremation of the body.

Benefits of Cremation Services 

Cremation services have become an increasingly popular choice for individuals and families regarding end-of-life arrangements. There are several benefits associated with cremation that many people find appealing.


  • Flexibility: The time immediately surrounding a loved one's death can be difficult and confusing to navigate, especially if no arrangements have been made yet. If you choose cremation, you have time and flexibility to put together the arrangements you want. While burials are time sensitive and usually must be completed within a week, cremation allows you to factor logistics and availability into your loved one's memorial service and final arrangements for their remains.
  • Portability: When you choose cremation services, you have options when it comes to what to do with your loved one's remains. You can have ashes scattered in a location that holds special significance to the deceased or keep them in a beautiful urn somewhere safe in a loved one's home. You can even transfer their remains to new urns or divide them between family members according to your loved one's wishes.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Cremation is a less expensive option than traditional burial. If budget is a concern, choosing this option can help you keep costs manageable.
  • Eco-Friendliness: Cremation takes up fewer resources and helps with overcrowding in cemeteries. It allows you to choose alternative ways to store your loved one's remains; even if you still opt for burial, an urn vault is significantly smaller than a burial vault. If your loved one was environmentally conscious, choosing this option can be a wonderful way to honor their memory.
