Most funeral homes offer cremation services in Daytona Beach, FL as a cost-effective, honorable alternative to a traditional funeral and burial. It’s a nice way to serve the public since today, about half of all clients want cremation and the other half want a regular funeral. If you are leaning toward cremation, you will work closely with the funeral home on the details and any services you want to include after the cremation. But there are certain things you won’t hear them say—and that’s a good thing.
You Have To Have Your Loved One Embalmed
You may not know this, but embalming is an optional service. Most people who are going with a traditional funeral go ahead with that service so their loved one is in good shape for the services they want to have. Those who have full cremation services may as well. But the cremation provider will never tell you that you have to have that service done because legally, it’s not true. You have the option as to whether or not you want that service for your loved one. If you are having direct cremation done for them, you definitely don’t need it.
You Have To Buy An Urn From Us
Many times, families want to purchase an urn for their loved one after the cremation process is completed. The funeral home will provide a simple container, but often, families want something more unique and personalized for their loved one. Even if you are certain you want an urn, you don’t have to buy it from the funeral home. Yes, they have options and yes, they can tell you what size you need and help you with other details. But you can also go to an outside vendor and whatever you bring to the funeral home, they will use.
You Have To Bury The Ashes
You most certainly can bury the ashes of your loved one, if you wish. But you also most certainly don’t have to. There are options when it comes to cremation and the funeral home will never tell you what to do in any way. They may offer you ideas and options, but they won’t try to sway you one way over another. They will lay out the things you need to consider and then support whatever you decide. You can spread ashes in a garden, scatter them into a body of water, keep them at home, and do any number of other things.
These are just a few of the things that the funeral directors won’t say about cremation services in Daytona Beach, FL. If you happen to hear any of those things coming from a professional, you will want to find a new company to work with. They aren’t operating ethically or, in some cases, even legally. The professionals at Baldauff Family Funeral Home and Crematory have your best interests at heart and truly want you to be able to honor your loved one in whatever what you see fit.
