Types of Cremation Services
At Camino del Sol, we understand the diverse needs of families during times of loss and are committed to accommodating their wishes through various cremation services. Whether opting for a traditional approach or direct cremation, each service can be thoughtfully tailored to honor the departed in a meaningful and personalized manner.
Types of Cremation Urns
A cremation urn serves as an important vessel to house the cremated remains of a loved one. But for a family who has suffered a loss, an urn’s purpose extends beyond mere functionality. It acts as a dignified memorial that both represents and pays tribute to the spirit of the departed.
Final Resting Place for Cremated Remains
Few things are as important to a person’s memory as the legacy they leave behind and how they are remembered by family and friends. Deciding on a final resting place for a loved one’s cremated remains should be made with thoughtful consideration, allowing a continued sense of connection with the departed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still have a memorial service if I choose cremation?
Yes, you can absolutely have a memorial service if you prefer cremation. Memorial services offer many flexible options and do not follow a set format, providing the freedom to tailor the gathering to one’s personality, beliefs, and values.
What is the standard procedure for receiving my loved one's cremated remains?
When making arrangements for the cremation, you will be asked to complete an authorization form that will indicate how you would like the remains to be returned.
How can I be sure my family receives the correct cremated remains?
Camino del Sol requires a family member positively identify the deceased before the cremation takes place. Additionally, a stainless steel disc with an ID number follows the individual’s remains throughout the process. Upon receiving the cremated remains, the family will find the disc included in the container.
What is a witness cremation?
A witness cremation allows for immediate family members to observe the body entering the crematorium. Those assembled have the choice to leave once the cremation process begins or stay until it is complete.
