Do I Need A Casket If I Only Want Cremation?

Do I Need A Casket If I Only Want Cremation?

There are several decisions to be made when organizing a funeral ceremony for someone who has passed, and we at Simply Cremations & Funeral Services understand that. However, an increasing number of people are choosing cremation over burial. 

Before your death, you can talk to the funeral director to learn about the many services. This expert will assist you in making the best decisions, ensuring that you get the package and services you want. You can select the casket you want and include that detail in your preplan contract. Your family will not have to manage this or any other aspect of the cremation.

 

Types Of Caskets

 

People often question whether a coffin is necessary for a funeral. Yes, but the coffin doesn't necessarily have to be like the one you'd use for a funeral.

 

There are several choices for a basic cremation coffin, such as wood or cardboard, if you don't want to purchase a hardwood casket. For example, there are several options that you can choose from, including:

 

·       Wood

·       Manufactured wood

·       Mixed materials

·       Biodegradable

 

Standard or customized caskets are available, depending on your needs and budget. The crematorium's incinerator can only burn wooden coffins; metal coffins will not be placed in them. It's possible to design a custom casket from a variety of materials and motifs, as well as any additional decorations.

 

Most funeral homes have different packages, and you can pick the one that best suits your needs. You can discuss your requirements with the funeral director and make your final decision after that. You can contact us at Simply Cremations & Funeral Services via this online form and one of our experts will revert shortly.

  At Simply Cremations & Funeral Services, we have observed that cremation is the most popular method of disposition in the province, with about 65% of the population choosing cremation as their final disposition. As an alternative to burial, cremation is often seen as more eco-friendly, and the cremation pricing is typically much lower when compared with a traditional burial. What Is The Average Cremation Pricing? The cost to have a loved one cremated in our area depends on several factors, including the desired services, the funeral home you work with, and your geographic location. You can anticipate paying between $1,095 and $1,295 to arrange a simple, direct cremation in Calgary, Edmonton, and Red Deer metro areas.
