Once the cremation decision has been made, all that's required is authorization. This is provided by the person who is the legally identified such as an Executor or next-of-kin. Once all authorization documents are signed, and service charges are paid; the body can be transported to the crematorium and the cremation process can take place. However, there are some additional things you may wish to consider, such as:
- Do you wish to provide clothing for the deceased? If not, the body will be wrapped in a shroud.
- Are there any keepsake items you'd like to include in their cremation container? Perhaps there's a special memento, such as a treasured photograph or letter? Family members may write cards, notes or letters to their deceased loved one, and place them in the container prior to the cremation.
- Would you or other family members like to be present for–or participate to some degree in–your loved one's cremation? With a simple cremation, this may be the only opportunity for ceremony.
- What will you keep the cremated remains in after the cremation?
