What is Cremation?

Are you looking for a funeral home and cremation services in Newburgh, IN? Choosing between cremation or a traditional burial can be a difficult decision. There is no right or wrong choice, just whatever your preference is. Before you make a decision, it’s important to know what exactly cremation is. Cremation is the process of reducing the deceased into ashes by extreme heat. This process is carried out in a special chamber until the deceased’s cremated remains can then be given back to family or friends in an urn or box.

From there, family and friends can choose to spread the cremations at a beloved location (just be sure to check with local laws). Sometimes families spread the ashes at a park, over the ocean or a vacation spot. Other options include burying the ashes at a cemetery or in a backyard or permanently placing them in a vault or mausoleum. Sunset Cemetery offers a free Cremation Garden, and you can also plan for funeral service at Lake Sunset.  You can also incorporate a portion of the ashes into jewelry so you can always have your loved one near. Sunset offers the largest selection of cremation jewelry and keepsakes in the Tri-State Area.
