Here at Arlingtoncremationservices.com we realize that there are some sensitive questions that you may want to ask. We believe that it is best to ask them rather than leaving your questions in the back of your mind.
Will I Be Cremated With Other People?
That is perhaps the most common misconception in the industry. The answer to the question is no. You will not be cremated with other people.
You will be individually cremated and your ashes will be handed directly to friends and family.
Do I Need To Have A Religious Service?
Another question that many are frightened to ask.
No, you don’t need to have a religious service at all. Life celebrations are a bit like people. We like to say that they come in all shapes and sizes.
There are many ways to celebrate a person’s life. We will leave this up to you.
Should I Shop Around For Cremation Services?
Yes, you can “shop around” for cremation services. We often find that many turn to a cremation service where they have been with a friend or said goodbye to someone.
But, equally so, there is no reason why you should not shop around. Maybe a local cremation service close to you, is not easily accessible for your friends and family. In that case, you should consider what other options are available.
Can I Choose My Own Cremation Urn?
Yes, you can choose your own cremation urn.
For some reason, there is great deal confusion around the urn. Your family is not obliged to choose the urn. You can choose your own urn and even plan your own service.
It is easy to assume that a service or life celebration has to be planned by family. If you would like to, you can indeed plan everything to do with your cremation and service yourself.
Can I Turn My Service Into A Truly Private Occasion?
Yes, you can. If you don’t want your entire family or all of your friends to attend, you have the right to decide on the number of guests.
Large gatherings are still popular, but there are also those who like to opt for a small gathering.
Talking about the end of life is never easy. You can do it all in your own way. It is up to you if you would like to plan everything yourself or let someone else help you to complete this sensitive task.
