The Process Of Manhattan Cremation Services

By Beryl Dalton


Cremation has always provided a fast and relatively cheaper method of resting your beloved one in peace. Many families are fast adopting this service which is considered cheaper. A typical process takes around 2 to 3 hours to complete. However the time between different people vary depending on the size of the deceased. The typical Manhattan cremation containers include cardboard trays, wood caskets or canvas body bags.

Only about 15 percent of cremation services use a casket meaning that they use a less expensive cardboard container or canvas body bag. The process involves the heating up the body and container at high temperature levels that reduce them to cremains. The cremains are just a technical term for the ashes. A normal adult will yield around 5 to 7 pounds of the cremains which are grey in color.

Funeral homes in Manhattan are offering this service at relatively affordable prices. They do these themselves or subcontract the services of various crematories in the city. There is a misconception about cremation that confuses many people. It is however crucial to note that a buried body will decompose after years and become ashes just like what burning up achieves.

A memorial process can be accompanied by all the services that a normal traditional funeral service would have. A memorial service can be carried out before or after the process. If it is done before, then the deceased is taken to the cemetery or sea directly after being cremated. However if you deem to really reduce costs, you can do the process without any memorial service. This is known as Direct Cremation.

If you are considering a greatly economical option, then you need not go any further. Direct cremation will just fit your exact needs. This is the most economical option available. You will be able to lay to rest the deceases immediately without even engaging the services of a morgue. This can save you a considerable amount of fees.

The procedure for this is simple. The deceased is collected from the point of death and transferred to the location of funeral service. From here the body is prepared for the burning. There is no viewing, visitation or wake of the body which removes the need for embalming or any other body preparations. The necessary paperwork for death certificates and cremation permits are completed and the body is cremated. The remains are returned to the family at a later date, normally after 5 to 10 days.

Renting a casket would be a great consideration to make. Instead of purchasing one, it is better to hire one from a funeral home considering that the casket will be redundant after the service since it is not cremated with the deceased. An alternative container will be used as mentioned above.

If you are interested in saving money, then it is recommended that you look around at the various Manhattan funeral homes and crematories to see which one offers lower fees. You may also consider avoiding burying the cremated remains in a cemetery since other costs like cemetery fees, cost of headstone or a grave marker may accrue.
