Working With Funeral Homes That Have Crematories

funeral homes in Miami Beach, FL

Most funeral homes in Miami Beach, FL today offer both traditional services and cremation, but when you are planning a service, it’s nice to work with a funeral home that has a crematory if you are at all interested in cremation for your loved one, or for yourself as part of a pre-plan. Funeral homes offer both services because clients vary today and it’s good for them to have the options available. But not every funeral home has a crematory on their property. Here are a few benefits you will get from companies that do.

Your Loved One Remains In Place

When you are having a loved one cremated after death, or when you are going to go through it yourself in the future, the person is picked up at the place of their death and taken to the funeral home’s facilities. Then, the cremation can take place right there in the funeral home and the person is placed in an urn or simple container and returned to family. They are only moved one time, from the place of their death to the funeral home. You always know where they are and whose hands they are in for the duration of the process.

You Can See The Crematory

Before you commit a cremation service to a certain funeral home, you might want to tour the crematory to get a feel for how it operates and what it looks like at that funeral home. You may have never seen a crematory before, or perhaps you have and want to compare it to what you remember. Seeing the crematory is something that is simple to do when it’s right there in the funeral home. You can see every detail you want to see and ensure that everything works well.

Get Remains Back Fast

Since your loved one isn’t being carted from place to place, you will get their remains back faster than you would at a funeral home that uses a crematory outside their facilities. It’s nice to know that they are with you faster than they would be otherwise so you can take charge of what happens next, being someone who loves them as much as you do.

The Best Prices

Funeral homes with outside crematories don’t control the prices that go on the cremation services. But those who have their own crematories do. You can get better, more fair prices when you work with a funeral home that has its own crematory option.

There are plenty of things to ask and to think about when you need help from funeral homes in Miami Beach, FL, whether you are planning for yourself in advance or for a loved one who has passed away recently. If you want cremation as part of the services you will use, consider asking about crematories and whether the one they use is there or elsewhere. It could help you make a decision between funeral homes if you want a certain thing. Call Ferdinand Funeral Homes & Crematory when you are ready to make plans or have questions.
