When a loved one passes on, you have a lot to consider. Even if you know they wanted cremation services in Reno, NV, there are things you can add to the cremation package to customize and personalize the process, which many families like to do. It is nice to know that you can choose a cremation package, even a basic one, and it will cover everything your loved one has to have. Then, you can take your time looking through the additional options in order to see what you want, what you can afford, and what would be nice to add to your loved one’s basic services. Here are some of the products that are worth at least considering.
The first thing that most people add to the cremation package is an urn for the cremated remains. The package will come with a simple container that will work for the remains just fine, but that container is little more than a cardboard box and you might want something different for your loved one. Urns come in a wide variety of colors, styles, materials, and so on. If you have a vision in mind, you can find it. You can also customize urns with engravings to make them even more special.
You don’t have to make a decision on your loved one’s final resting place right away, but if you decide that you want to bury your loved one in a cemetery, you will likely need an urn vault to go in the ground and surround the urn. The vault is like a box that protects the urn in the ground. Some cemeteries require it or you might just want it to protect your loved one’s urn and their remains.
Urns can hold cremated remains, but so can scattering tubes and if you decide that your loved one would want to be scattered, placing them in one of these containers can help you to scatter them with more ease. Take a look at the options and what they look like if you are considering scattering.
No matter what you decide to do with most of your loved one’s remains, you might want to get a piece of cremation jewelry as well in order to place a few of their remains inside to keep. These pieces are items you can wear around your neck and are often shaped like a heart, pendant, or cross, among other things. You can also frame and hang the cremation jewelry item so you can display your loved one in a place of honor in your home.
Outside of products, you may want to honor your loved one with a memorial service and there are tons of different options to consider there. Once cremation services in Reno, NV are complete, you have time to figure out what products you want and what else you want to do. La Paloma Funeral Services are here to help you through the choices.
