Adding Options To Cremation Services

cremation services in Windber, PA10When you choose a package for cremation services in Windber, PA as part of your pre-plans, that’s a great step forward in putting plans into place. You can stop there and simply utilize the package you have chosen. These packages include everything you absolutely have to have from the actual cremation process itself to a simple container for your ashes. However, you are certainly able to add services to those packages, if you so choose. Here are a few things that some people like to add:

An Urn

Depending on what you want done surrounding your cremation or with your remains after cremation, many people like to choose an urn for their ashes. If you want a memorial service with the urn present, for example, it’s nice to have something that looks pleasant and suits your personality. If you’d like to have your ashes kept in a family home, you want something that will fit into their house as well. Urns come in all different varieties with many different costs. You can purchase one from the funeral home, but there are many other outlets you can try as well. Since you are pre-planning, you have time on your side to look around, find something you like and can afford, and make the purchase.

Memorial Services

Figuring out that you want to be cremated and getting those services into place in advance is a huge help to your family. When the time comes, they know what you want and what to do. However, you can also plan your memorial services in advance, if you’d like. You can take things a step further and get those plans in order, so no one has to plan anything. You can leave instructions for a simple ash scattering in a park or you can set up full memorial services with the funeral home complete with a room for the service and other instructions.

The Final Resting Place

If you know where you’d like your final resting place to be, it might be something to add to a cremation package. If you want to be buried in a cemetery, for example, you can get a small cremation plot. If you want your urn to be placed in a columbarium in a cemetery, you can get that spot as well. Final resting places are varied and can be added to the package, if need be.
