WHY
ARE MORE PEOPLE CHOOSING CREMATION?
The number
of people who prefer cremation is increasing rapidly. In Florida, the percentage
approaches 50%, and the numbers are steadily growing in every state. Recent projections
by the Cremation Association of North America reflect a national average of 47%
by the year 2010. In other developed nations like Japan and the countries of Scandinavia,
percentages reach as high as 95%.
Individual reasons for choosing cremation
are as varied as the alternatives. High cost of funerals, concerns for the environment,
cold-weather constraints, and ease of transportation to distant burial site are
just a few. But most people choose cremation for its simplicity.
At American
Heritage Cremation Society, Simple Cremation services
consist of transportation from place of death; temporary shelter of remains; completion
of necessary documents, obtaining permits and authorizations and preparation of
death certificate; standard cremation container; cremation procedure; and delivery
of cremains to designated destination (providing a selection of permanent
urns, if desired).
WHAT IS CREMATION?
Cremation is a computerized thermal process of applied heat
and dehydration that reduces the human body to its basic elements. It is accomplished
in a special chamber called a retort, taking approximately one to two hours.
The cremated remains (often referred to as "ashes") are called cremains
and usually weigh from four to nine pounds. They are enclosed in a sealed heavy
polyurethane bag and packaged in a container suitable for transport. Urns,
or permanent containers, can be selected and purchased separately if desired.
(Artistic designs and materials vary according to individual tastes and/or final
disposition requirements of the cemetery or columbarium).
In a religious context,
the human body originating from and returning to the basic elements of nature,
"dust", is a Biblical principle,
expressed in Genesis
2:7 and 3:19,
Ecclesiastes
3:20 and 12:7,
Psalms
22:29 and 103:14,
1
Corinthians 15:47, and other passages. Natural decay and decomposition is
God's immutable law for returning the body to "dust."
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER CREMATION ?
Choices for
disposition of cremated remains include:
BURIAL
in cemeteries,* urn gardens, at sea or at a National
Cemetery for veterans and their spouses.
INURNMENT in
a niche of a columbarium in cemeteries, churches and other locations. *
SCATTERING in a memorial garden of a cemetery
or church, at-sea, over private property,
and a host of other personal options.
KEEP AT HOME in
a permanent urn. This is often done with consideration
for later transport and or burial.
"KEEPSAKES"
are miniature urns or pendants designed to contain a portion
of the cremains while the remainder is buried, scattered or inurned.
*If using a private cemetery, you may need to purchase a permanent
urn or vault, an
opening & closing as well a marker. These are not requirements of American
Heritage Cremation Society.
