Once you decide on cremation services in Des Moines, IA<\/a> for a loved one, there are lots of other decisions to make. The nice thing about cremation is that once the process is done, you can put everything else on any timeline you want. You can have a memorial service<\/a> right away, or you can put it off for the future. You can also decide on a final resting place for your loved one whenever you are ready to do so. After cremation, you can still bury your loved one in the cemetery, if you so choose. If that is what you feel best about, you might want to visit the cemetery to look for a plot. After the burial process, you may want to visit later to honor your loved one further. There are some rules and regulations you will want to follow any time you visit.<\/p>\n

Follow Signs And Rules<\/h3>\n

Cemeteries often have rules listed at their gates and there may be other signs in the cemetery to direct you and let you know what\u2019s allowed. You are going to want to follow all of those posted regulations. Since there are signs telling you what is accepted, there\u2019s no excuse for not knowing what\u2019s okay and what\u2019s not. Pay close attention to the signs when you first visit and from there on out, you may remember those rules well enough.<\/p>\n

Talk In A Hushed Voice<\/h3>\n

You don\u2019t want to disturb anyone else who might be in the cemetery, burying a loved one, looking at plots, or visiting a final resting place. Even if you don\u2019t see anyone directly around you, it\u2019s nice to speak in a hushed tone. You don\u2019t have to whisper, but talk in a soft voice so you aren\u2019t too loud for others who might be around.<\/p>\n

Drive Slowly<\/h3>\n

Cemetery roads usually have very low speed limits. Follow those speed limits and drive with extra care. There might be signs that show you to go a certain direction as a one way or not to park in a certain area. You can also park in certain areas, where the signs direct you. Drive slowly so you can take note of the signs and directives as they come.<\/p>\n

Be On Time For Any Service<\/h3>\n

If your family is having a burial service for your loved one after cremation, you are going to want to be on time for that service. It might be small and casual, but you still want to be on time out of respect for those preplans<\/a> and for your loved one.<\/p>\n

Respect The Graves\"cremation<\/h3>\n

Keep in mind that when you are walking around the cemetery, you are among a variety of resting places. You need to treat those graves with respect. Don\u2019t walk over them, do anything to the headstones, or leave any trash behind.<\/p>\n
