Many people are choosing cremation over a traditional funeral for reasons that are very important to them. The first reason is the lower cost, and the second reason is that the thought of being inside a coffin under the ground for years is terrifying to them. An important third reason is the fact that they don’t want their spouse or children to bear the burden of saying the same thing over and over again to every person who visits the funeral home to pay their respects. While this is wonderful, and an honor to the deceased, it’s a terrible time of grieving for the loved ones.
Since dying isn’t a popular topic, many people are shocked to find that funeral arrangements have been left entirely up to them. They’re also shocked to find out there may not be enough money, or an insurance policy, to pay the exorbitant costs of a traditional funeral. Some people who do have the luxury of a rather large insurance policy may have named specific beneficiaries they want to receive the proceeds, instead of them going to a funeral home. This may be the case for many people. If so, they should talk to one of the local cremation companies in Bellevue Wa to begin planning what they want to happen after they’re gone.
Many people just aren’t sure their wishes will be carried out just the way they want them, but when they pre-plan their cremation, everything will be written out and specific. Visiting one of the caring local cremation companies in Bellevue Wa will offer peace of mind to everyone who wants to be sure of the service they want. They can choose cremations of varying kinds starting with a lower cost on up to a higher cost. The deceased can also choose to have a memorial service after the cremation, or one before it.
Ashes can be placed in gorgeous urns and kept at home, or they can be buried, or scattered where allowed by the state. If family members are available, they should know about the pre-planning, along with pre-payment of a cremation so they know they won’t be burdened when that time comes. The important thing is that the deceased was able to make their own choices long before their death.
