When you decide on cremation services in Monroe, NJ for a loved one, there are a lot of other choices to make around that service. One of the nice things about cremation is that once you cremate your loved one, you don’t have a timeline on the other options. You can put your own timeline on things and make you decisions at your own pace. One thing you will want to think about, at some point, is what you want for your loved one’s final resting place. You might want to bury them in a cemetery, as you would have after a funeral. There are many reasons to go that direction. Here are a few to consider. 

Keep Them Safe 

You want your loved one to be able to rest in peace and placing them in the cemetery means they will be safe and secure. That might be alluring to you. If you scatter ashes, you don’t know where they end up and what happens to you. Having them in the cemetery guarantees their safety. That can help you to leave them there, knowing they are protected against the elements and anything else that could happen. 

Utilize A Traditional Option 

Cremation has been around for thousands of years, but people still think of it as new and an alternative to the traditions. While it’s completely honorable and respectful, if you go with a burial after cremation, you are still doing something that feels more on the traditional side. That can make your family happy and can give them something that feels more like what they expect from final services

Give Family A Visiting Spot 

People can always visit an ash scattering site, but it might not feel the same because you know that your loved one is not really there any longer. When you bury them in the cemetery instead, you are giving your family a spot to go visit when they want to think about your loved one and honor them again. They can visit regularly, bring flowers, or just go there when the mood strikes. It’s a nice place for everyone to go when they want to think about that person. 

Create A Permanent Memorial  

There are lots of things you can do in terms of permanent memorials when a loved one dies and you cremate them. But when you bury them, you don’t have to think through those memorial options. Instead, the memorial is going to be the headstone you place on their grave. That permanent item is simple and straightforward and gives your loved one a lasting memorial so everyone knows who is resting there. 

When you decide on cremation services in Monroe, NJ for a loved one, you are taking care of their needs in an honorable manner. You are also giving yourself the open door for a lot of different options. You can decide what kind of memorial you want to have, and when you want to have it, for example. You can also figure out what you’d like to do for a final resting place, like scattering, a cemetery burial, or even keeping the ashes in a place of honor in your home. Visit our facilities now.
