In the event cremation is chosen, is it possible to have visiting hours and a funeral service?
Like a typical casket burial, cremation is simply a process performed on the body before it reaches its final resting place. As such, cremation usually follows the visitation period and funeral service that has been arranged. It should be noted that various religions have specific guidelines regarding cremation and, if this is preferred, the appropriate people should be consulted before final decisions are made.
