Once you decide what you want to do for a loved one, and cremation services in West Des Moines, IA<\/a> are the answer<\/a> you have reached, there are a lot of options you can consider for your loved one\u2019s remains. One of the nice things about going for cremation is that you don\u2019t have to decide right away. You can get direct cremation and then, once that process is complete, you have no timeline on anything else you want or feel you need to do. You can decide whenever you reach a decision that feels right to you. Here are a few things you might consider doing with your loved one\u2019s cremated remains.<\/p>\n

-Keep An Urn In Your Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

One thing you might do is keep your loved one\u2019s remains in your home. Choose a nice urn that is sturdy and won\u2019t break or spill and that can help you to stay close to your loved one. You can also take the urn with you if you are to move in the future and your loved one will never be left behind. Find a nice, safe place in your house and that can help you to honor your loved one right there in your home.<\/p>\n

-Cemetery Burial<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just because you went with cremation doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have a cemetery burial for your loved one. Cemetery burials are honorable, even for cremated remains. The burial plots are smaller and more affordable, but they allow you a place to visit your loved one if you want your family to be able to see them in that manner.<\/p>\n

-Place The Urn In A Columbarium<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t like the idea of burial, you can still place your loved one somewhere safe where your family members can visit that person, like in a columbarium. This is also a nice option if you think you might move in the future as you can easily access the urn and take it to a new location. You also have a memorial set up for your loved one and everyone can visit them and think of them there.<\/p>\n

-Scatter The Ashes\"cremation<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are a variety of locations that might be special to your family or your loved one and you can scatter your loved one\u2019s ashes there. You will want to look into rules and regulations to make sure you scatter legally, but scattering is something that is very popular. You can even scatter in more than one location.<\/p>\n

-Use Cremation Jewelry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cremation jewelry is on the rise because more people don\u2019t want to completely part with their loved one. They can place a bit of their cremated remains inside the small urn, which is like a piece of jewelry that they can wear. These items are often in the shape of a pendant, heart, or cross, but there are other options<\/a> as well. When you work on cremation services in West Des Moines, IA with the professionals<\/a> at Des Moines Cremation, they have other options for you to consider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
