When you and your family meet with a funeral director to plan final services for a deceased relative, what body disposition should you choose? You and yours will have to select either funeral services or cremation services in Charleston, WV<\/a>. While both options are honorable, there are times when cremation services just won\u2019t fly. It really will depend on what you and your family want, but here\u2019s a look at how to know when a cremation isn\u2019t is the right choice.<\/p>\n

Funeral Services are a Family Tradition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some families have always planned funeral services followed by earth burials after loved ones have passed away. And not every family is open to messing with traditions. Consider that funerals are sometimes almost like family reunions where families spread out across the country and even across the globe come together to honor their dead. It\u2019s a time of coming together to support one another and to give your deceased loved one a final send-off. It is true that you can still do something similar if you plan a cremation \u2013 by holding a memorial service \u2013 but your family might simply want to stick with the way you\u2019ve always done things. There\u2019s nothing wrong with this. In such a case, you\u2019ll want to let the funeral home know that you want to plan a funeral service followed by a burial.<\/p>\n

The Deceased Had Specifically Requested a Funeral Service<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another reason to plan a funeral service over a cremation service is if the deceased had specifically asked for a funeral service rather than a cremation service. You\u2019ll want to honor them by planning a body disposition that is in line with their preference.<\/p>\n

Religious Objections<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be pleased to know that most religions accept either a cremation or a funeral. But there are a few that still prohibit cremation as a body disposition. So if the religion your family adheres to does not accept cremation, you\u2019ll want to plan a funeral service. If you\u2019re not sure what your religion\u2019s position is on cremation, you can ask the funeral home you deal with. They\u2019ll be able to get you\u2019re the answer you need. You can also try asking one of your religion\u2019s leaders.<\/p>\n
