Handling Remains

MyRestingPlace   20.04.2007

Traditionally, one of the main preparations that had to be made for those who pass away is the selection of a casket and a plot. While the act of burying the dead is a time-honored tradition, more and more people are turning to new methods of handling their remains. One of the most popular trends today is cremation.

 

Cremation affords people several options. Some opt to have their ashes spread over one of their favorite places, such as an ocean or mountain top, while others decided to keep them housed in an urn. If you go with the latter route, it is wise to put the same time and care into choosing your receptacle as you would for a traditional casket. Handmade urns tend to have more detail and character, providing a reverent resting place.
