Generally, a traditional service with cremation format consists of a visitation and then a funeral service with the body of the deceased present. Then after the funeral service the body is cremated. You can also request to have the body cremated first, and then the ashes can be placed in a container or urn for the visitation and funeral service.
The purpose of this package is to have the main ceremonial elements of a traditional funeral but to replace burial with cremation.
The visitation could take place in the afternoon and the evening, often between 2-5 pm & 7-9 pm. These times accommodate a variety of schedules and allow the mourning family a break for dinner. These times are not set in stone and can be adjusted based on the needs of the family. If the deceased had a large circle of family and friends there may be a need for 2 days dedicated to visitation to accommodate those wishing to attend. Conversely, if the group of family and friends is small, perhaps only a few hours for the visitation is needed. The goal in deciding on visitation time is to accommodate the people who wish to attend but not exhaust the immediate family members who will be present for the entire visiting period.
The visitation usually takes place at the funeral home, simply because funeral homes are set up to hold such an event. However, accomodations can be made to use alternative venues.
The funeral service or mass is usually held at a church, but we can also hold the service at the funeral home as well.
