Cremation has become a more popular option over the last few years, and will continue to be a very reasonable option. Cremation arrangements are made with a funeral director also you will be asked to select an urn at this time.
Most people don't realize that cremation still allows for traditional viewing, visitation, and chapel services. It is up to the family if they would like to have the casket present or wait until after cremation has taken place and hold a private ceremony with the urn.
Now you need to decide what to do with the ashes. There are many more options than just putting an urn on your mantle these days. You can choose to place the urn in a glass front niche, mausoleum niche, columbarium niche, boulders, benches, bird baths, jewelry, artificial reefs etc.. just to name a few.
Also, the ashes can be divided up to fulfill several family members wishes. You could place half of the ashes in a niche, and the other half scattered for example. Ive seen people make diamond rings, and earrings with the ashes.
