Most people don’t like talking about death, but unfortunately it is a fact of life. As adults, it’s usually recommended to have some discussion with family members regarding each person’s wishes or desires when the time of passing does occur. Some prefer to be buried with an elaborate funeral service and others would prefer a simple cremation with either a small memorial service or even no service at all. There is no right or wrong in each individual preference, but it is important for family members to communicate these wishes to each other. This helps to ease stress and minimize misunderstandings after a passing has occurred.
For those that have chosen Cremation in Milford OH, the process is fairly simple and stress free. Depending where the death occurred will determine the first step in the process. Of course, after the loved one has passed, the cremation facility will need to be notified. If the passing occurred in a hospital or care center, the staff will notify the cremation facility to arrange for pick-up of the body. If the death was accidental or unexpected, either at home or another location, the police will most likely be involved and they will contact the coroner. The family will be advised when to contact the cremation facility to transport the body.
It’s possible to visit the center to discuss options, but it is also possible to choose and pay for the choice on-line, in the comfort of the home, surrounded by family and friends. The few forms that must be filled out can be conveniently completed on-line, too. The only other commitment will be to visually ID the deceased, either in person or by photo, prior to cremation. After the death certificate is received by the facility, usually 3 – 5 days after the death, the cremation can commence. Shortly afterward, the remains can be picked up by loved ones, or left to be placed by the facility, as agreed upon. The remains can be placed either above ground or underground, with a variety of options for placement.
Some desire the simplicity of Cremation in Milford OH over a traditional funeral and burial. Cremation is generally less expensive than a standard burial, yet allows for a respectful and dignified end of life.
