There is a lot of information out there and with the internet at everyone\u2019s fingertips, it\u2019s easy to get those details. However, not all of the information you find is going to be true. Some of the things you might read could turn out to be a myth when you are trying to learn about cremation services in West Des Moines, IA<\/a> and here are some of those myths<\/a> and why those things aren\u2019t true.<\/p>\n

Funerals Aren\u2019t Possible With Cremation<\/strong><\/p>\n

You might think that funeral services aren\u2019t possible with cremation, but that\u2019s absolutely not the case. The two are not mutually exclusive. You can have full cremation, for example, which allows you to have a funeral for your loved one first and then move forward with the cremation process. Or, you can have cremation done first and then have a memorial service that feels much like a funeral service. You get to do whatever you want around cremation, even if that means still having a funeral.<\/p>\n

Religion Forbids Cremation<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the past, some religions looked down on cremation and today, there are still a few holdouts that prefer or even forbid cremation. However, now that more people, and more religious leaders, understand how cremation works, they are more accepting of it and some even promote it. Today, almost every major religion accepts and appreciates cremation as a valid option. If you have doubts, you can check with your faith to see where it stands before moving forward.<\/p>\n

Someone Else\u2019s Ashes Could Return<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you want to go down the conspiracy theory path, it\u2019s easy to see how ashes can be mixed up and how what you get returned to you could be someone else completely or, at the very least, your loved one mixed with someone else. But that\u2019s not the way things work at all. Cremation providers are so careful with identification and they have processes in place that completely avoid these situations. What you get from the cremation provider is your loved one\u2019s remains and your loved one\u2019s remains alone.<\/p>\n

Ash Scattering Is Illegal<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are some situations in which you cannot scatter ashes, but it\u2019s perfectly legal in the right locations. For example, if you were to\"cremation spread ashes on private grounds that you do not own and you don\u2019t have permission from the person who does own that property, that would not be a good idea. But, in general, scattering ashes is perfectly legal as long as you do it right.<\/p>\n
