Or, the family can choose direct cremation in which the deceased is taken from the place of death to the funeral home for paperwork to be completed then directly to the crematory. Sometimes it is necessary for families to have their loved one cremated immediately then hold a memorial service later when family and friends from far and near are able to gather in one place to celebrate the life lived by their loved one.
