11 Cremation is the process of reducing the human body to basic chemical compounds in the form of gases and bone fragments. This is accomplished through burning high temperatures, vaporization and oxidation. Choosing cremation does not eliminate other decisions you and your family want to make regarding a funeral or memorial service. In fact, cremation is simply the first of many decisions you will make as you strive to share your grief and honor the memory of your loved one. Following the death and cremation of a loved one, there is the question of what to do with the cremated remains. You have many choices regarding the final resting place. Interment can be in your family plot, church garden or other memorial site such as a columbarium (an arrangement of niches). You may also choose multiple urns, allowing the cremains to be interred in more than one location or shared among family members. Rather than burying, scattering the cremains or storing them in a single urn, cremation jewelry is ideal for sharing among family members. You may keep a small portion of the cremains as keepsakes. Whatever you choose a traditional burial or cremation, the memorial you plan should be a tribute to your loved one and a comfort to family and friends.
