3 Situations When You Shouldn't Plan a Cremation

Cremation services in Loveland, OH are becoming more and more common. Some families plan cremations because the price is right. In fact, cremations are much more cost-effective than burials. Other families plan cremations because of the flexibility. Since cremations don’t include many of the things traditionally associated with funerals and burials, they are easier to plan. And other families like the post-body disposition options like scattering, cremation jewelry, and more. But while cremations are now more common than burial these days, there are times when a burial is probably preferable to a cremation.

 

What follows is a look at 3 situations when you’ll probably want to plan a burial rather than a cremation.

 

#1. Your Family Has Always Planned Funerals

If your family has always planned funerals, graveside services, casket burials, and receptions, there may not be any desire to pass up on these traditions. Some traditions are worth keeping. So if your family members don’t want to give up any of the tradition of honoring deceased loved ones, you can continue the tradition that has served your family well over the generations. Even so, you can plan a cremation and then have some type of service afterward. So if you’re okay with simply modifying a family tradition, you could pair a cremation with a service might. Otherwise, you might just want to stick with the status quo rather than to change what works.

 

#2. Your Religion is Against Cremation

While most religions are now fine with cremations and burials, this wasn’t always the case. Over time, a lot of the misinformation about what cremation is and isn’t has been successfully refuted. But while this is the case, there are still some religions that prohibit cremation as a body disposition. These religions include, but are not limited to, Islam and Orthodox Judaism. So if you’re a follower of these faiths and want to honor your religion, you’ll need to plan a burial. There may also be certain rites and practices you need to adhere to. Your best bet is to speak with a leader of your religion or to speak with the funeral director to get the answers you need.

 

#3. Your Loved One Preplanned a Burial

It’s always a good idea for people to preplan their own body dispositions. That way, their loved ones won’t get tasked with the responsibility of planning on their behalf. If your loved one preplanned a funeral service and burial before their passing, you will want to honor their plans. You will need to contact the funeral home with which they had preplanned. The funeral director and the other staff at the funeral home will take it from there and will keep you in the loop.
