When arranging cremation services in Willits, CA. for your loved one, there are some key details to keep in mind. Doing so will help you feel less stressed as you will be sure everything is getting taken care of. Keep reading to learn what these key details are. 


1. Urn Selection 


The selection of the urn for your loved one’s remains is an important key element. This urn will not only hold the remains but also serve as a memorial and tribute to your loved one for generations to come. 


When selecting your urn think about things such as the material of the urn, the shape and style, as well as any personalization such as engraving. Also, it’s important to consider where the urn will be placed as there may be certain dimensions or materials you need to adhere to. This is especially true if the urn will be placed in a columbarium niche or a ground burial. 


2. Cremation Provider 


There are many cremation providers and you want to ensure you choose a reputable one that offers the services you desire. Some cremation providers may only offer cremations while others may also provide services such as funerals and memorial services. 


You also want to make sure the cremation provider you choose is reputable and trustworthy. They are going to be handling your loved one and you want to make sure they do so in a proper, professional, and respectful way. 


3. State Laws and Requirements 


Each state has its own set of laws and requirements when it comes to the cremation processes. You will need to know what your state requires and make sure you abide by all regulations. If you are working with a funeral home or other cremation provider, they can assist you with what needs to be completed and followed. 


4. Placement of Ashes 


One of the biggest considerations when planning your loved one’s creation services is where the ashes will be placed afterwards Some families may choose to keep the remains in a display urn in a family member’s home, while others may choose to house the urn in a columbarium niche or a ground burial. Others may decide to scatter the remains or portion the ashes into smaller keepsake urns and divide among many family members. 


5. Additional Services 


While many families choose cremation types such as direct cremation for the simplicity of it, other families may wish to hold services prior to the cremation. These services could include things like a viewing, wakes, visitations, and funerals. 


Families could also hold services after the cremation such as a memorial service, celebration of life event, or casting ceremony. It’s important to decide what (if any) services you wish to hold for your loved one. 


6. Stay Within a Budget 


While we always want our loved ones to have the best of everything, it is important to stay within a set budget as we plan the cremation services. To ensure you don’t overspend, set a budget before you even begin planning anything. Make your budget known to those around you as well as urn and cremation providers so that they can help you stay within your range.
