Wakes and Funerals

Our Blog Call [phone]

It's not every day that we encounter wakes and funerals, and some people are clueless and unsure as to what to do when they visit a dead person. What should they wear? What will they do once they get to the location? What is the right thing to say to the family of the deceased person? How long can you stay at the reception? And can you invite other people? These are just some of the questions we usually ask ourselves or to others before attending a wake or funeral. Some people even list their do's and don'ts so they'll know what they should do and avoid from the start, people who usually do this are those who'll visit a wake or funeral for the first time.

We often misunderstood the meaning of wake and funeral, and sometimes the two are being mistaken as the other one. What we don't know is that these two are different in a few aspects.

Wake

The wake, or sometimes referred to as a reception after the funeral, is an opportunity to mourn the passing of the person who has died and, as well as to celebrate their life. Typically, it’s a time when family and friends come to pay their respects to the deceased. Guests are lined up to extend their condolences to the family.

The term wake was initially used to denote a prayer vigil. Through the year, its association with prayer has become less important, although not lost completely. In many countries, a wake is now mostly associated with the social interactions accompanying a funeral.

Wake

A funeral, on the other hand, is a ceremony connected with the final disposition of a corpse, such as a burial or cremation. It is a ceremony that honors the life of the deceased, and an opportunity for family and friends left behind to say their final goodbye. A funeral is also an assembly for the community to come together a time of mourning and reflect on the life of the dead person. This service generally takes place the day following the wake.

The purpose and reasons why having a funeral are important can be found here.

The funerary customs settles the beliefs and practices used by what may be the family's culture, and it is done to remember and respect the dead, from interment to various monuments, prayers, and rituals undertaken in their honor. Customs vary between cultures and religious groups. Common traditions for funerals include mourning the deceased, remembering and celebrating their life, and offering support and sympathy to the bereaved; additionally, funerals may have religious aspects that are intended to help the soul of the deceased reach the afterlife, or in some cases, the deceased resurrection or reincarnation.

Historically, mourners would walk in a funeral procession to the gravesite; today, people use vehicles. Either all guests will use cars, or they will still follow the tradition of walking behind the hearse.

Superstitions

Superstition is any belief or practice that considered not logical or reasonable. All countries have their own set of superstitions that people still followed until today. Like the country Philippines, they have their superstition or "pamahiin", as they call it, to follow when doing a visitation or funeral. Aside from the superstitions around the world, here are some of the Philippines’ superstitions they still follow until now:

When you encounter a black cat right after attending a wake, it just doesn’t pertain to bad luck, and some people say it means that you’ll be the next to die.

Pregnant women are not allowed to look at the casket or even go to the burial. It is said that they will have a problem giving birth or even miscarry their baby.

Family members or widows should only wear black for one year. It is a sign of grief or loss.

Women on their period should not visit any wake or attend a funeral. They will suffer a foul-smelling menstruation every month.

Family members should not say thank you to people giving their condolences. It is assumed that you are saying thank you that someone is dead.

Children should wear red or anything with red when sleeping. Wearing red will prevent the dead from visiting them. Children tend to get sick or have nightmares.

For adults, it is avoided to wear red or other bright-colored clothes. When attending a wake or a funeral, one should wear dark-colored clothes as a sign of mourning. The Red color is said to ward off the dead. Children can wear red-colored clothes to avoid seeing or playing with the spirit of the deceased relative.

Avoid counting the number of cars in a funeral procession. It’s believed to be bad luck. Some believe doing so will reveal the number of years you have left to live or will take a year off your life for each car you count.

Cremation Box

Our Blog Call [phone]

When we lose a loved one, all choices we encounter right after may seem overwhelming. While it may be challenging to think about during the mourning period, remember that this final tribute is as much for you as it is for the loved one you lost. If you're looking for a simple, respectable, and elegant option, a cremation box may be the one for you. You can browse for the various design of cremation box available in Amazon and Perfect Memorials.

How did Cremation boxes start?

Many civilizations have used cremation box. After death, corpses are cremated, and the ashes are collected and put in an urn.

In the modern funeral industry, cremation boxes of varying quality, elaborateness, and cost are offered and are another source of potential profit for an industry concerned that a trend toward cremation might threaten profits from traditional burial ceremonies.

Biodegradable cremation boxes are sometimes used for both human and animal burial. Made from eco-friendly materials such as recycled or handmade paper, salt, cellulose or other natural products that are capable of decomposing back into natural elements, and sometimes include a seed intended to grow into a tree at the site of the burial.

Besides the traditional cremation ashes urns, it may also be possible to keep a part of the ashes of the loved one or beloved pet in keepsake urns or ash jewelry, although this might be banned in some localities as the law of certain countries may prohibit keeping any human remains in a private residence. It is even, in some places, possible to place the ashes of two people in so-called companion urns. Cremation or funeral urns are made from a variety of materials such as wood, natural stone, ceramic, glass, or steel.

Scattering of ashes has become popular over recent decades. As a result, boxes designed to scatter the ashes from have been developed. Some are biodegradable, and some recyclable after being used. Some cremation boxes are made of wood.

Why is it important to choose the right cremation box?

When we think of cremation, we almost always associate it with a traditional urn. Square and sturdy cremation boxes may seem unusual than the traditional vase urns we got used to. This is different from most urns, whose vase-like shape is graceful but can seem precarious and unwieldy.

Selection of a cremation box for a loved one is an essential step in the memorial process. Often, there is an aspect to an urn that stands out and becomes the deciding factor in your selection. Indeed, choosing the box often happens quite naturally, whether the decision is made by one individual or in agreement with family members.

It's always best to start with how you plan to use the container to narrow down the selection. For example, there are cremation boxes that can be used for land burials or water burial, boxes to keep on display or house in a private memorial or columbarium niche. Whatever the final resting place for the box that will house the cremated remains, you will find that there are many beautiful, distinguished designs to select from.

With so many kinds of cremation boxes available in the market, either for human or an animal, your choices are limitless. You can go for simple or ornate, large or small, old-fashioned or contemporary. You can even personalize a cremation box to fit the family’s specific needs and wants.

Various companies offering cremation boxes have materials that made out of metal to stone boxes. Biodegradable to stained glass cremation boxes are also available in the market. Some even provide cremation pottery from locally sourced artisans who still create them.

When it comes to the sizing of the chosen container, it is best to ensure that its capacity is comfortably accurate. It is recommended to select a cremation box with more space than you think you might need.

Whatever design you purchase, make sure that you check with your funeral provider before finalizing your decision if you intend to buy an urn for burial. Many cemeteries have strict policies or restrictions about the burial of cremation boxes, so always check out the terms and conditions and make sure you and the funeral company are on the same page.

Funeral Reception

Our Blog Call [phone]

Funerals take place at a funeral home, church, or crematorium or cemetery chapel. A funeral reception is where the viewing of a deceased person will take place. It is held at a family member or friend's home, at a restaurant, a garden, an event space, or a social hall in a religious place of worship.

Funerals are held according to the family's choice, which may be a few days after the time of death, allowing family members to attend the service. Some funeral homes will also have spaces at the funeral home where you may be able to hold a post-service reception.

Funerals as a Reunion

This kind of gathering is also an excellent opportunity for people to spend time together and remember the person who passed away. Funerals often bring people together with the relative and close friends of a deceased person who may not have seen each other in quite some time, and the location that also provides an opportunity for the people to reconnect.

A funeral can be expected to be a formal and somber event, but a reception also offers a more casual, relaxed space for people to celebrate the life of the person who died.

If you need a funeral space available to rent out, Peerspace offers a service that lets you search for a convenient reception nearby. It also gives you the option to compare prices among the rooms available for rent.

Another one is The Hove Club, and this elegant building was built in the late 19th century that still offers a peaceful venue for funeral wakes and private lunches to celebrate the memory of a loved one. If you are planning a funeral arrangement or are organizing a gathering of family and friends, they can cater to large and small events.

Typically, a funeral is held around one or two weeks after the death, allowing the family left behind to look for a reception that is available depending on how long they want the funeral could be, though it may be longer if the funeral director only has certain days available or if there is an inquisition into the death.

Some families may wish for their loved one to be buried as soon as possible, depending on if they follow a culture, tradition and religious beliefs. Also, many religions have specific mourning periods that begin immediately after the funeral.

Bringing Something to the Funeral

It is typical for receptions held at home styled like a potluck, a communal meal which people bring to share among the other guests. With friends and guests allowed to bring prepared food and drinks, alternatively, you can order deli platters from delis or supermarkets, a restaurant can deliver food, or a catering company can handle all the arrangements. If you have the reception at the funeral home, they may have restaurants or catering companies that they prefer to work with, though you may be able to bring in whatever foods you like.

If you are following any religious traditions, be aware that some religions have special foods that are eaten or prohibited during and after a funeral. In some religious communities, it is traditional for the social committee to provide the food and drinks for the reception.

In the Philippines, families who hold funerals always have prepared food and drinks for the guests, they also follow superstitions that are strictly followed by the elderly and in some other parts of the province. Even if foods and beverages are provided, guests are not allowed to bring home the food from the funeral, and it's a sign of disrespect according to the older people. They're not allowed to eat food with Moringa leaves, too. They said that eating this food could cause death in the family, one after the other, pulling the Moringa leaves means pulling a person to his grave.

Aside from food and beverages, you can bring other items such as a single flower or an arranged flower bouquet meant for funerals. The most popular choice is Lily; it represents the restored innocence of the soul of the departed. Financial contribution is also allowed to bring and give to the family left behind; it serves as help but is exclusively for the expense of the funeral only.

Burial Urns

Our Blog Call [phone] It might be confusing to some why certain people still bury their deceased family member when they already decided to cremate them. What is the purpose of cremation if they plan to bury the casket with the body all along? Why are there people burying their loved ones cremated remains while others are displaying it somewhere in their house such as the altar?

For hundreds of years, burial urns have been used for containing the ashes of our deceased loved ones. Various designs of funeral urns were used according to one's cultures, beliefs and rituals. Preserving the ashes of our loved ones in a container with beautiful designs has always been important.

Cremation is a practice used in many places throughout the world. Protecting a loved one's remains in some vessel or container has been a religious ritual followed by many.

In recent years, cremation has become more popular than ever, and this is partly due to the expense of purchasing a casket and vault for a loved one. Urns for burial are affordable for anyone, especially those who don't have burial insurance or cannot afford the costs of a traditional burial.

Choosing to cremate a loved one can be difficult, especially if they did not make their wished known before passing. However, it is still an excellent option and offers some of the same benefits you receive with a casket burial. For example, urns are protective and come in many designs perfect for whatever taste you have. They are buried under the ground and often marked with a traditional headstone just as with casket burials.

Over the last few years, protecting the environment and making things earth friendly has become a significant issue, many of us are paying more attention to how we treat the world we live in. Everyone wants to be more environmentally conscious, so even at the end of life; they choose biodegradable urns because it's the only great option.

Today, many burial urns are biodegradable, which means the materials they are composed of are safe and organic. They are eco-friendly, elegant, and a beautiful way to honor a loved one. Stardust Memorials is a company that specializes in making biodegradable urns, and another one is the Bios Urn. Bios Urn is the world's first biodegradable urn designed to convert you into a tree afterlife.

The biodegradable urns naturally decompose back into the Earth over time. It is usually the ritual of burying a loved one that is so important, not the fact of whether the container lasts for hundreds of years.

It isn't so much whether your loved one's remains are placed in a casket or urn that matters, the ritual of burial has been an important one for thousands of years, and so remains today.

Which way you choose to go depends upon the burial needs and financial means of your family. If a costly funeral is not something you can afford, burial urns are an excellent option. Many times, the deceased chooses to be cremated before they pass, so choosing a natural urn that is biodegradable and earth friendly is good to go.

Nowadays, not only humans are being buried and cremated. Even animals can receive a proper funeral when they pass away.

If you would still like to keep your pet's remains on your property, but don't have a place to bury an actual body especially that of a large pet, consider having your pets remains cremated and returned to you for burial. This still has the advantage of having your pet "at home," and keeping the pet's ashes in a decorative urn or container; you'll find a wide range of such products in any classified ads online.

If you prefer to scatter a pet's ashes rather than preserve them, you can spread the ashes in the pet's owner yard, where it lived and played; this is another way of bringing the pet "home" one last time. Others choose to scatter the ashes in a way that symbolizes setting the pet "free" for its final journey—such as in the woods or over a body of water, or just into the wind.

Cremation VS Burial Cost

Our Blog Call [phone]

Cost is the main factor in how you'll present the disposition of your late loved ones. Understanding the different prices between cremation & burial can help you make a more informed decision when choosing a funeral home to serve your family.

The first thing to do is to understand what options are available. Second is if the person deceased planned beforehand. It is better to follow his preferred disposition as to giving respect to his last request.

If you call a funeral home and ask, "How much do their services cost?" expect a thorough interview as they will need to know what service options you are considering.

Services can be basic or as unique as the life of the person remembered. The final cost will depend on the arrangement or services that you will choose.

Cremation Cost

There are mainly three types of cremation service; the traditional service with visitation, cremation with a memorial service, and the direct cremation with no service.

Traditional Service with Visitation

For a traditional full-service funeral, there is a visitation or public viewing and funeral service, held either at a church or funeral chapel. A casket often is the single most expensive item you'll buy if you plan a "traditional" full-service funeral. A rental or "ceremonial" casket is used, and it can either be opened or closed during the visitation. The actual cremation would be after the funeral, and the cremated remains will be given back to the family. The average cost for this procedure is $2,500.

Cremation with a Memorial Service

While the first one includes a casket with a body in it, a memorial service is a funeral service without the body present. The cremation takes place a day or two following the death. An urn containing the remains of the deceased can be present at the memorial service, which can be held at the funeral home, a church or any meaningful place. The cost, of course, still varies depending on where the service is held.

Direct Cremation with No Service

A direct cremation is the most basic or simple type of service. The body is cremated, and the cremated remains given to the family. There is no service of any kind. The average cost for this procedure is $1,500.

Burial Cost

Funerals today can easily exceed $10,000. The average cost of burial can cost up to $7,000 or more, and based on some items chosen such as flowers, transportation, headstone, and the likes. While caskets can cost several thousand dollars, burial items like headstones and grave liners can also add thousands of dollars depending on the material used.

Losing a loved one is one of the hardest experiences a person may encounter. As if losing someone wasn't hard enough, grieving family members often left with the burden of funeral expenses.

These expenses require many on-the-spot decisions. The stress of making these decisions can often drive families apart when they need each other the most.

Thus, it’s not uncommon for families to overspend by hundreds – even thousands – of dollars on funeral arrangements. Funerals are just as unique as the individuals they celebrate. Depending on your culture, race, religious beliefs, or financial situation, one type of burial may be more appealing than another.

Some funeral homes can make matters worse by recommending unnecessary funeral expenses or services that are beyond what a family can afford. Family members can feel pressured to give their loved one the best funeral possible and wind up overspending as a result. Having a trusted friend accompany you in advance can help you stay within your budget.

Direct Cremation with No Service

Every funeral home is required to present you with a general price list that lists all their company offers. Most funeral homes offer packages for a set price. Packages should clearly state all inclusion and what might cost extra.

Listed below are generally included in most packages:

Professional fees of the funeral home and staff

Transportation of the deceased to the funeral home

Permits

Cremation fee

Listed below are sometimes not included:

Urn

Death Certificates

Taxes

Listed below are other services that might involve an extra cost:

Embalming

Transportation fee

Medical examiners’ fees

Private family viewing

Boston Cremation offers a simple, affordable, online arrangement process that significantly reduces the stress for the families. Their package prices range from $1500 up to $4000.

How Much Does A Cremation Cost?

Our Blog Call [phone]

The cost of human cremation depends on some factors that need to be considered, like the region, the type of cremation service you choose, the price of casket or alternative container you're going to use, the amount of cremation urn, the way you want to dispose of the ashes, etc. Thus, there is no standard cost of a cremation procedure.

Whether you're thinking if cremation is right for you or you are making this decision for a loved one who passed away, understanding its process and the cost of it can be beneficial.

Cremation, according to Google, is the act of converting a body to ashes. It is done in a specific and orderly sanitary environment using equipment that can bring the deceased to a very high temperature quickly to ensure appropriate conversion. Once the process is complete, the cremated remains of the deceased can be stored in an urn, converted into jewelry, scattered in a favorite location, or interred in a cemetery. These are just some of the more common disposition choices for the family to choose from.

The benefits of choosing cremation include that it can cost less than a traditional burial, it’s environmentally gentle, it provides flexibility for the family, and there are many options for disposition.

But how much does cremation cost?

Cremations are mostly cheaper than traditional burials. The prices usually start around $700 to $800. Still, people spend several thousand dollars on cremation and funeral services. Funeral homes also offer direct cremation services, also known as simple cremation.

The average cost of cremation can range from $2,000 to $3,000– less than half the price of a traditional funeral, which is lower than the average full-service funeral that averages around $10,000 these days.

Common Costs Associated with Cremation

The cremation process itself is estimated to be priced at $1,200, but the range can still change according to the family's specific needs and wants.

An urn; with a lot of options to choose from, families can find affordable or high-end luxurious items. The average cost is from $15 to $300 or more, depending on the size, type and quality of the urn.

Certification of Death, which obviously involve fees associated with each county ranging between $10 and $30 per certified copy.

A memorial ceremony that price can range from minimal for a small service where family and friends provide the location and other items to thousands for large, formal memorials if family decide to rent locations instead, to cater all guests.

You can check out Cremation Cost for a guide and a more accurate price costing for cremation.

We must keep in mind that cremation is not and will never be a substitute for a funeral. You can, however, plan to have simple or elaborate funeral arrangements for paying respects to the deceased and seeing the body for the last time. If you want to arrange the event at an affordable price, you can search out a reputable yet low-cost cremation service provider or memorial society and rent a casket instead of buying it. Yes, caskets can be rented to lessen the expense, especially if the casket won't be included in the burial.

The cost of getting a human body cremated must include the funeral home’s service fee, the fees for picking up the corpse, and storing it temporarily until the cremation is done. Certain crematories may also charge extra for a witnessing service wherein the relatives and representatives of the deceased can watch the cremation process.

As most funeral homes do not have their crematorium, you will have to take into consideration the cost of transferring the body from the funeral home to the crematorium.

Certain funeral homes now offer sets or packages for cremation procedure, make sure there’s a clear understanding between the client and the company to avoid problems during the process. An example of a company that offer cremation packages is St. Peter, they propose money back too if their client is not satisfied with their services.

If you can’t afford your cremation costs, there are several places you can turn to that may help. Many states aid through the social services department if your family can’t afford the expenses. If you can't come up with the money to pay for cremation or burial costs, you can sign a release form with your county coroner's office that says you can't afford to bury the family member. If you sign the release, the county and state will pitch into either bury or cremate the body. Another option is to talk to your local parish, many times they will offer funeral assistance to families who are struggling to pay the costs of a funeral.

Low-Cost Cremation

Our Blog Call [phone]

The disposition of a departed person could be the last thing his family would spend on him. Some families would give everything they have to provide a grand funeral; others prefer a simple, private ceremony for their deceased loved one that's exclusive only for family and close friends.

Either way, both plans involve finance issues that need to be addressed by the family members left behind.

Over the years, the rates of people choosing cremation have doubled up. It is no longer seen as an alternative to a traditional funeral. A reason why it's popularity may be soaring is because of its cost.

Cremation is one of the most affordable ways to go, but the price still depends on the chosen service providers, the funeral homes, you will hire. But there are other options for a guaranteed low-cost cremation.

Direct Cremation

This is the most basic and least expensive type of service, sometimes referred to as simple cremation or immediate cremation.

A direct cremation is a low-cost service for those looking for a very simple and modest funeral. It's the cheapest cremation option.

If you're not looking to plan an elaborate funeral, direct cremation might be the right solution for you.

With direct cremation, there's no embalming process, formal viewing of the deceased body or funeral service. It only includes the necessary and minimal procedures: picking up the dead body, completing the required paperwork, the cremation itself and providing the ashes to the family. As simple as the body being cremated, and the cremated remains are returned to the family without a funeral, graveside, or memorial service.

Cremation with Memorial Service

A memorial service, if the family desired, which can include from a small to a broad range of options and can take place in private homes, rented buildings, places of worship, or outdoors. The family members could still adjust depending on the money they have allotted for the funeral.

Choosing of Urns

Urn prices vary widely based on design and more, but if you let your funeral service pick one out for you, you should expect to pay more. There's no rule against buying an urn from a store for a much cheaper container for the ashes of your loved one. There's no requirement in what your urn should be like, as long as it would be taken care of and is in a proper manner, and some even opt for a cookie jar or just a plain black box with the ashes inside tied up in plastic.

No Cost Cremation

For a completely free cremation, another option to consider is to donate the body to a university-affiliated medical school. After using the body for research, they will cremate the remains for free, and they either bury or scatter the ashes in a local cemetery or return them to its respected family, usually within a year or two. There are several organizations around the country and resources available online to facilitate this, potentially saving you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

If you're going to ask if you're eligible to donate your body to science, most people are eligible for body donation, regardless of age or medical conditions at death. However, there are exceptions. If the person has or had a communicable disease such as hepatitis, HIV/AIDS and/or tuberculosis, severe obesity, edema (fluid swelling) or if the body has experienced decomposition or trauma, that body will not be eligible for donation.

If you want to look for a particular facility and need help locating one, cremation.com is a site that allows you to search by state.

For more details regarding low-cost to free cremations, you can go to this site to read more about these options.

Preplanning the Cremation

When it comes to the business of death, comparison shopping is still the best way to ensure you're being taken care of. It's a good idea to call around different funeral homes in your area to inquire about the prices of their cremation services.

Preplanning a funeral or cremation can also be an option since it will give you an idea on how much you could or should spend on your desired disposition, or how your family member wants his disposition to take place. Although uncomfortable to some just by thinking you or a member of your family will pass away, at least in this way you can estimate and set aside the money reserved for the cremation. It gives you more control and peace of mind, as well.
