1. Direct Cremation is a Cold Way to Say Goodbye
As far as final services are concerned, a cremation is just as fitting as a funeral. It really all comes down to what you and your loved ones want…or what the deceased had communicated before passing away. If the goal is to plan a cremation or direct cremation, you will be able to give the dearly departed a suitable final send-off. You and yours will also get some closure.
2. You Can’t Have a Memorial Before or After Direct Cremation
While direct cremation means that there are no body preparations, no viewing, and no funeral services of any kind, that doesn’t mean that you can’t pair it with a memorial service. If you’re going with a direct cremation versus a regular cremation, then you will likely have to plan the memorial for afterward the body disposition. The reason for this is that a direct cremation takes place almost immediately after death. Once the necessary paperwork has been completed and the death certificate has been secured, the deceased will be cremated. With a regular cremation, you can, if you wish, hold off on the body disposition for a short while. This might allow you enough time to hold a memorial before the cremation.
3. Most Religions Frown on Cremation

Many Christian denominations and many Eastern religions allow cremation for their respective believers. If you’re in doubt, ask the crematorium you work with. You can also ask an official associated with your faith community who is authorized to answer questions pertaining to suitable body disposition options.
