When a loved one passes away Legacy Cremation Services understands the choices between funeral homes or cremation services can be overwhelming and confusing. There are many different aspects between traditional services at funeral homes, and the cremation process with options for a memorial service, scattering of the ashes and more. Below you will learn from Legacy Cremation Services what the basic distinctions are between the service you receive from funeral homes and the options available when you choose cremation.

Cremation Services
Cremation services can happen with or without complete funeral services or funeral homes. Most cremations occur without viewings of the departed in funeral homes, but rather a family will hold a memorial service after the cremation process is over. Legacy Cremation Services offers many different types of memorial services for all faiths and cultures, so you can honor your loved one in the manner you desire. A popular choice for a memorial service after cremation is having family and friends gather in a viewing room that many funeral homes will rent by the hour. You can tailor the memorial to suit your wishes, or those desired by the departed. Some families choose to celebrate the life of their loved one by having favorite pictures and mementos placed on memorial tables. If the departed played a musical instrument it can be strategically placed in the room and favorite music can play during the service, or even a live musician can play. Some families choose to have the ashes of their loved one or friend, scattered at sea or other favorite outdoor location. The possibilities are as unique as the life that departed.
Legacy Cremation Services wants to assist you in this time of need by removing some of the stress you are feeling, we will make all of the arrangements for you. It does not matter where you want memorial services, what you may want to have at them, or even if you want to have a choice of viewing rooms from funeral homes, we will make all of the necessary preparations

Cremation Costs and Cremation Pricing
Cremation pricing generally includes, transporting the departed to a crematory and returning to the place of the families' choice, obtaining all necessary paperwork, the container for the cremation process, plus a rigid container for the return of the remains. Some cremation services like those from Heritage Cremation Providers, also include serving the departed's family from the beginning of the cremation process through a memorial service or scattering of the ashes
assistance with filing paperwork for SSI, insurance companies and Veterans benefits, planning memorial services, grief support, help with decisions for scattering of the ashes in the cremation costs. Free accurate information about the entire cremation process and cremation costs can be found on the Legacy Cremation Services website in Kansas.
Funeral Services
Cremation pricing is less expensive than traditional funeral services held in funeral homes even when they include a memorial service after the cremation process. The reasons for cremation costs being lower than funeral services are the expenses that go into conventional services from funeral homes. Funeral services pricing does require the expense of embalming, a casket, casket liner, cemetery plot, vault, maker for the grave, dressing of the departed and any extra transportation necessary that increase the price of funeral services.
Cremation costs are not the only reason many families are choosing cremation services from Legacy Cremation Services. Many families live a great distance from each other and cannot attend funeral services, others do not want to prolong the sadness associated with a tradition burial, and some simply do not want to be buried.
