3 Questions People Ask About Cremation


If you are going the cremation route for your deceased loved one, you probably have a lot of questions about the process. The people at Amherst Funeral and Cremation Services in Burnaby will answer any question you might have and provide you with more information on what happens during the cremation process, so you know whether this is really the best choice for your loved one. 

Check out these frequently asked questions about cremation:

1. Does the body need to be embalmed first before going to a crematorium in Burnaby?

If the family does not wish to have a viewing or a wake, there is no need to embalm the body. However, if the family wishes to have a viewing, it is necessary to preserve the body until it will be cremated.

2. Do I need to choose a casket for my loved one before the cremation?

Again, if the family wishes to have a viewing, finding a casket is needed. Otherwise, a combustible container should be used. Also, some Catholics might prefer that the ashes be put in the casket to be buried.

3. Is it legal and safe to scatter the remains of my loved one?

This depends on where you want to scatter it. You need to ask your local authorities to find out if it is permitted and where you can hold it. In some cases, you are not even permitted to scatter ashes of a dead loved one in your own backyard.

When it comes to the cremation of your loved one, consult the professionals in this industry first to determine if this is really the best choice.
