Burying Remains After Cremation Services

December 9, 2019 • Teri Vila-Caballero

Cremation services in Key Biscayne, FL have become more popular in recent years because people appreciate the cost-effectiveness of these services along with the many options they bring with them. As far as final resting places go, you can scatter ashes, keep them in your home, or even bury them as you would in a traditional service. Most people scatter ashes after cremation services, but burying is a beloved option as well.

When you go with cremation for a loved one, you also have the option of doing more than one thing. You could scatter some of the ashes, for example, in a place they adore and then bury the rest of the ashes so your family has somewhere to visit when you want to think of your loved one. You can break them up even further and put a little into keepsake jewelry so anyone who wants a piece of your loved one can always have them with them.

While burial is often thought to be a below ground thing, and it usually is, it can also entail burial at sea. When you set your love done off to sea in a cremation urn that breaks down in water, their body can nourish a coral reef when they land deep in the depths. You never know what good you are doing by burying your loved one at sea. Plus, you are taking up no space at all and you are giving your loved one a respectful send-off you will always remember.

Burying cremated remains is also possible around a casket. If one spouse dies and is buried traditionally, then the other dies years later and they’d like to be buried together, you could cremate the second person and it’s possible that their urn will be allowed within the same burial plot. They can be together without disturbing the person who passed away first.

Remains can also be buried outside a cemetery, like perhaps under a tree or beneath the family garden to give new life to the earth and to give you a place to visit your loved one when you wish.

Burial brings just one option in traditional funerals, but with cremation services in Key Biscayne, FL, even the burial process itself varies. If you’d like cremation done for a loved one, you can look over the final resting place options, including burial, with no pressure on the timeline.
