When deciding to bury a loved one or when selecting burial during funeral pre-planning, there are many things to consider. First, one must select a cemetery and specific burial plot. Next, the family or the person will need to choose a casket and oftentimes a burial vault. After these decisions have been made, it becomes a matter of picking a headstone or marker and having it inscribed. There are numerous affordable burial options to choose from, ranging from a simple burial with a staff member directing to a full-service funeral followed by a burial. As mentioned, the staff of Daniel J. Schaefer is readily available to help families and individuals to make these important decisions.
Cremations have become increasingly popular in recent times. This has been the result of religious shifts, financial considerations, environmental concerns and many other factors. Choosing cremation does not cut back on the ways in which a family may honor its departed. They may still have a traditional funeral service, complete with an open or closed casket wake. The only differences from a funeral preceding a burial is that the loved one is placed in either a rental casket or a cremation casket and is buried at the end of the cycle instead of being interred.
Another option that cremation allows for is having a memorial gathering in honor of the loved one. This ceremony can take place wherever and whenever the family would like. Often the urn is the central aspect of the memorial service.
Lastly, Daniel J. Schaefer Funeral Home offers direct cremation. This is the most basic cremation option as it lacks any visitation or ceremony. It includes all required documentation, a simple alternative container, transfer of the deceased from the place of passing to the crematory and the retrieval of the cremated remains from the crematorium back to the funeral home.
