Facts About The Manhattan Cremation Services

By Beryl Dalton


In the recent years, many families have actively adopted cremation. This method of resting a deceased has been perceived to be fast and relatively cheaper than the traditional burial methods. A normal such process takes about 2 to three to completion. The difference in time between various bodies depends on the body size of the deceased. A larger body will take longer to cremate. The Manhattan cremation uses containers like cardboard trays, canvas bags or wooden caskets.

Only around 15% of the Manhattan crematories and funeral homes use caskets for the process. This is considered an expense and instead alternatives such as cardboard containers and canvas bags are used. The procedure involves heating up the body and container with high temperature furnaces which burn down both the body and container to ashes called cremains. A normal body would yield about 6 pounds of the ash.

Many funeral homes in the Manhattan city are offering this service. They either do it themselves or subcontract the services of a crematory. A point to note is that this procedure just replicates the same procedure that a buried body eventually undergoes. After years, the buried body decomposes and becomes ashes just like the burning up results.

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.

Considering direct cremation would be the most appropriate economical option. This method is the least expensive among all. It will facilitate the disposition of the deceased immediately without having to put them in the morgue for days. This will save you a considerable amount of fees which would have otherwise catered for the morgue charges.

The process in this case is simple. After the demise, the deceased is taken from the place of death and taken to the funeral service location. Here the preparations for the cremation take place. No viewing or visitation is required in this case hence there is no need for embalming and other body preparations. The relevant paperwork like death certificates is completed and then the body is cremated.

If you wish to use a casket, it is wise to consider renting one. The casket will mainly not be used for cremating the body hence the casket will be redundant after the process. An alternative container is used like a canvas bag.

If you are looking to save money but still get quality services, search around for the best Manhattan funeral homes and crematories. Compare their prices and choose the most affordable. You can dispose cremains at the sea or cemetery.
