If your plan is to hold a direct cremation in Mustang, OK for a loved one who has died, you’ll be part of a trend that is seeing more people plan cremations than funerals. One of the reasons people opt for cremations is that they’re particularly cost-effective. You won’t need a casket, you won’t need embalming, you won’t need a graveside burial, and you won’t need a funeral service. But what if you want to hold some sort of formal event after the cremation? The good news is that you can combine a cremation with a memorial. Here are some of the benefits. 


Family and Friends Can Come Together 


You, your family, and other people who knew the deceased can benefit from a memorial or celebration of life service. A direct cremation is the simplest – and the least expensive – body disposition option available. It only includes things that are necessary to complete the cremation. Since it doesn’t include any extras, you will be able to plan a direct cremation on a tight budget. But there is something to be said for holding a memorial service. It will allow people to come together as a group in order to honor the memory of the deceased. The attendees will be able to grieve, to heal, and even to share light-hearted moments as they talk about the deceased. A memorial or celebration of life can be held right after the cremation or sometime in the future when people have had time to come to terms with the passing of a special someone. 


Come to Terms with What Has Happened 


Some people need some kind of service, whether formal or informal, in order to obtain closure. And closure or acceptance of what has occurred is vitally important. It will be difficult to move forward unless a measure of closure has been obtained, and not everyone will get this sort of closure without some sort of service or ceremony. 


Give People What They Need 


While planning a cremation will give your deceased loved one an honorable final send-off, that doesn’t mean that a memorial service can’t serve a useful purpose. There may some members of your family who want to uphold the tradition of a service of some type. When you plan a cremation with a memorial, you won’t have to choose one or the other. You can do both.

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most profound challenges. During this emotional time, you're faced with making important decisions, and your primary goal is to ensure your family member is treated with dignity and respect. When you choose cremation, you place an immense amount of trust in the provider you select. But have you ever stopped to ask a crucial question: "Who is actually performing the cremation?" Many funeral homes and even some low-cost cremation providers in the Oklahoma City area don't have their own crematory.
