How Should the Body Be Displayed at the Funeral?
Cremation can happen before or after any funeral services. If having your loved one’s body present at the memorial service, you may rent a casket to use during the ceremony and viewing. Once the funeral is complete, the cremation service will take place. If viewing is not your top priority, you may choose to display the urn along with photos and mementos for the funeral service.
Does the Individual Wear Clothes During Cremation?
Yes, cremation can take place with the individual wearing a certain set of clothing. If your family chose to host a viewing or traditional funeral, the individual will usually be cremated in the clothing that they were displayed in unless other arrangements have been made. You can work directly with our team to decide on clothing for your loved one if there are specific wishes that need to be honored.
