What can I do with my cremated remains?
- Burial: Opt for a traditional resting place by burying the cremated remains in a dedicated cemetery plot.
- Inurnment: Secure a lasting memorial by placing the cremated remains in an urn, which can then be stored in an above-ground niche within a columbarium.
- Scattering: Set the cremated remains free by scattering in a cherished location, think about some special places, a favorite beach, mountain, garden, or another meaningful resting spot.
- Traveling: Allow your loved one’s journey to continue by shipping the cremated remains to any desired location. Alternatively, family members can accompany cremains on a plane for transportation.
- Keepsake: Commemorate your loved one by placing their remains in a personalized urn or keepsake, allowing you to keep their memory close at all times.
Are cremation services less expensive than burial services?
In most cases, cremation services are a more cost-effective alternative to traditional burial, providing a practical and budget-friendly choice for families with unlimited customization options.
Is embalming required for cremation?
No. Unlike traditional burials, cremation does not necessitate embalming. However, there are circumstances where embalming may be necessary, such as if the family wishes to hold a public visitation with an open casket service before the cremation process. At Boyd-Panciera Funeral Home, we respect your preferences and work to ensure that every aspect of the service aligns with your wishes.
