What Can Be Cremated With A Body?
When you choose to have a cremation service for a loved one, you have to decide what type of cremation you will have. You may want to have a natural service or you may be planning something a little more traditional and elaborate. If you are thinking about adding special things to the cremation, you will need to think about what those things will be and how you will add them. If you are planning cremation services in Bellevue, MI, be sure to keep some of these things in mind.
Jewelry
If your deceased loved one had jewelry that they wore often, you have the option to have those items cremated with them. You can keep them on your deceased loved one’s body or you can just add them into the casket with the deceased. You may also be able to have your own jewelry cremated with your loved one. If you wanted to give them something and never got a chance or if you would rather send them off with something that belongs to you, you can add any jewelry you choose to the body of the deceased before they are cremated.
Clothing
When it comes to cremation, clothing is optional. Some people like to keep things as traditional as possible and prefer to dress the deceased and have their body prepared much like they would for a funeral or viewing. Others want to keep the cremation as simple and natural as possible. It’s always a good idea to talk to your family members to see what they think is the best thing to do. You may also want to check to see if your loved one had estate plans or a preference when it came to if they were cremated in clothing and what type of clothing they wanted for their cremation.
Photos
If you know you want to add something special to the cremation but can’t figure out what that should be, you may want to consider adding photos. Photos are a great option because you have the
option of making copies of your favorite photos and adding them to the cremation casket. You can also include other family members and allow them to choose to add the photos they want. There may be a limit on the number of photos you can add, but you can check with the crematory director to find out.
