These are strange times we live in and when a loved one passes away, you might wonder what you are going to do to honor their life. You want something that gives them the send-off they deserve, but since we are all living through a pandemic, that can be challenging. Instead of trying to figure out the details that go along with a funeral and burial (unless that’s really want you want), you might want to consider cremation services in North Miami, FL instead. Here are a few reasons why a cremation can help you get through the services, even during a pandemic.
The Memorial Has No Timeline
If you decide to have a funeral for someone, you have a tight timeline after their death. Everything has to be planned and carried out within a few days. But if you decide to go with cremation services, once the cremation is complete, you don’t have to have the memorial at any set time. You can have the cremation done and then allow your family members to come together when the pandemic has passed in order to honor your loved one all together. Memorials don’t have to take place at a certain time and you can have it whenever you want down the line.
Memorials Can Be Separated
While there are ways to livestream funeral or cremation services, you can also have memorials separately, if you choose, for safety reasons today. You can have a small group gather for a memorial in a park in your area and other family members can have their own small gathering. Everyone can do their own thing, honor your loved one in their own way, and stay separated enough to keep things small and safe.
Ashes Can Be Saved
When you have a funeral for someone, the burial happens right after. When you have a cremation for someone, not only can you have the memorial later, if you want to, but you can also save the ashes for their final resting place. You can scatter the ashes later when you are able to gather with family, when you can travel, and when you are good and ready. Even if you have a memorial, waiting to scatter your loved one when more, other important people in your family can join you can mean a lot to them and to you.
