A Permanent Place to Revisit
When you choose to bury a loved one’s remains, your family has a permanent place to revisit. This means when you want to feel close to your loved one or spend time with them, you have a special place to return to. When remains are cremated and the ashes are spread, you might not feel the same level of closeness that you do when visiting a gravesite.
Traditional
If you ask most people what they think of when they envision a funeral service, it often includes a burial service afterwards. Many people consider burial to be the traditional method of caring for a loved one’s remains. If you or your family have strong religious beliefs, then a traditional funeral will most likely be the most appropriate choice.
Respecting the Deceased
A common misconception is that cremation uses fire to burn the deceased’s remains. Although this is not how the process works, many people still feel uncomfortable at the thought of using fire to reduce remains. On the other hand, a burial dresses the deceased in their best clothes and places them within a beautiful casket. Because of this, many people feel that burial is more respectful to the deceased’s remains.
