Don most people feel the cremation process is disrespectful of the dead?
A. Now that it is more widely understood, the cremation process has gained acceptance as a “thoughtful” and caring process, usually representing the carefully considered wishes of the deceased. Families have learned that cremation is, after all, preparation for memorialization – not simply a final disposition. Virtually everyone, according to psychologists who have studied the subject of death and grieving, needs to know that the remains of loved ones have been honored and can be visited again. Contrary to what some people believe, thecremation process does not limit one’s choices. Cremation, in fact, is only one part in a series of events that lead to longterm respect and remembrance.
