A permanent resting site is necessary for honouring and remembering loved ones, which is true of burial customs across many cultures. Be sure to select a burial option that feels appropriate for your loved one and family while thinking about burial alternatives like Direct cremation in Kelowna, bc for yourself or a loved one.

1- What is involved in a traditional funeral?

Traditional burial services or funeral homes frequently provide a full-service option that covers costs for:

the director and staff,

body transportation

embalming

burial containers (casket and vault)

facilities for a visitation or viewing

plans for memorial services or funerals

graveside services

A cemetery lot or crypt, perpetual upkeep of the gravesite, a grave liner (if required), and a burial marker, monument, or headstone are additional expenses that may need to be covered financially (which could include installation fees).

2- Consider the alternatives

Depending on your tastes and financial situation, there are many different possibilities for burial like direct cremation in Kelowna. Most often, cemeteries offer all of these alternatives for choosing and purchasing real estate:

A solitary grave: utilised for a single person's burial or cremated remains

Space with two depths: utilised for two people, one buried at a deeper depth and the other on top of the first Family lot at a standard depth. It is a space set aside for several family members.

Mausoleum: It is a public or private structure where coffins are placed above ground in crypt areas.

Personal mausoleum: is a structure, usually, a decorated standalone structure, that contains the remains of family members and creates a private visitation area.

Local mausoleums: this is where families can choose the location and level of the crypt and customise crypt plates and markers. This place is often a climate-controlled facility.

3- What questions should we ask before purchasing cemetery land?

Before buying cemetery property, make sure to do some research on the cemeteries in your neighbourhood to ascertain which possibilities best suit your needs (burial spaces, lawn crypts, or mausoleums). Cemeteries come in three varieties:

3.1-Private graveyard

Burials are only permitted on privately owned land designated as a cemetery, and only those related to the deceased by blood, marriage, or friendship may be buried there.

3.2-Public graveyard

It is a privately owned or public cemetery where graves and lots are offered for sale to the general public.

3.3-State or national cemetery, a government-run cemetery

It is eligible that veterans, their spouses, and their dependents may be laid to rest with little or no cost to the family.

4- What if a traditional funeral is not what we want?

Direct cremation in Kelowna is the most popular option for burial. Donating a body to medical research is another option. However, this is not a true form of disposal because the body is often cremated and given back to the family after about a year. Alkaline hydrolysis (water cremation) and resomation are a few examples of less popular methods of disposing off the body.

The bottom line

Please be aware that only some disposal methods are accepted by law in some jurisdictions. Ensure the disposal option you want to utilise is permissible in your province by checking local and provincial laws and regulations.
