Prior to making the decision to cremate a loved one, a family must make several considerations. First, family members should learn about the options that cremation makes available, such as a visitation, ceremony, ash scattering and urn selection. Next, they should discuss their individual beliefs about cremation and their preferences. After this, a funeral professional should be contacted and the intention to cremate should be put in writing. Finally, arrangements must be made to transfer the remains of the loved one to a funeral home or crematorium.

After deciding to cremate, a family may think about the type of ceremony that is desired to honor the departed. Family and friends may participate in the process by assembling photographs, writing down stories to tell and giving input on the best setting to hold the event in. The family can choose the music, prayers, hymns, reading selections and activities. Guests should be contacted and informed of the service well in advance. Finally, the family must decide on the final disposition of the cremated remains. Some choose to keep them at home in an urn, others to scatter the ashes and there are those who inter the cremains in a family plot or urn garden or place them in a columbarium niche.

Traditional funeral services are also available at Colonial Chapel Funeral Home & Crematory. The visitation and funeral service take place at its peaceful facilities. The committal service occurs when the loved one is buried and includes the vehicle procession to the cemetery. Often a reception or repast is held after the funeral and burial, where attendees gather for a meal, to recount memories of the departed and to support each other.

After the cremation of the loved one, a family may call upon Colonial Chapel Funeral Home & Crematory to arrange for a memorial service or an even more individualized ceremony referred to as a celebration-of-life. A memorial ceremony can take place at the time and location of the family’s choosing and usually has the urn as its focal point. A celebration-of-life is tailored to the personality of the loved one, showcasing his or her talents, lifestyle and accomplishments. It is usually led by a celebrant.
