With cremation becoming more popular of an option these days, there are now some choices that could be made within this realm. Here are the different types of cremation.
Traditional Cremation
The actual cremation is usually preceded by a funeral. Quite commonly, these have a wake within days of death. This option is more on the expensive side. That being due to the body having to be present at the funeral, wake, and visitation. For that to be possible, it needs to be preserved somehow. That is where embalming comes into play; there is no preservation of a dead body without it being embalmed.
Direct Cremation
This is the most affordable of them all. It involves directly transferring the remains to the cremation center without a previous funeral service taking place. It does not require a casket either, a reason that adds to it being a lot cheaper.
Liquid cremation
This process involves the use of alkali and water for the decomposition process to be accelerated. Its name is Alkaline Hydrolysis and it is an alternative to flame cremation. Taking from 3 to 16 hours, it is not precisely what you would call a short process. The total time it takes depends on body mass and equipment employed. Some medical devices, like pacemakers, do not have to be removed as is the case with conventional cremation.
