Of course, the loss of loved ones becomes for us a real psychological shock and severe stress. When a person dies, his relatives have to decide on what type of burial to choose so that the soul of the deceased “finds eternal rest”.
Currently, in our country, a procedure such as human cremation is gaining popularity. Agencies specializing in the provision of funeral services are forced to solve a huge number of issues directly related to cremation. At the same time, many people who, for various reasons, are forced to organize a funeral, do not have the slightest idea about what cremation is. The information below about this will be very useful to them.
So, what is cremation of a person, and how expensive is this ritual?
Cremation is one of the variations of burial, which involves burning a person’s body in a special furnace until ash is formed. After that, the ashes of the deceased are placed in a special container, which is given to the relatives and friends of the deceased so that they complete the burial procedure using one of the following methods: either put the ashes in the grave or put the urn in the columbarium.
What is the price of the above procedure?
It should be noted that the cost of cremation is not so high - it is about 4 thousand rubles.
Considering a ritual such as cremation of a person whose price depends on a particular set of necessary services and supplies, it should be emphasized that even the purchase of a coffin for cremation is the prerogative of the relatives of the deceased. One way or another, cost estimates for cremation are compiled based on their financial capabilities.
Currently, there are no problems with choosing a coffin for a deceased person. The only requirement is that it be made of materials that lend themselves perfectly to burning.
What is the reason that cremation of a person as a form of burial is becoming increasingly preferable? There are several of them. And they are individual.
Some experts say that over time, cremation will “squeeze out” the land burial, since it is a less costly procedure.
Of great interest to many is not only the question of how a person is cremated, but also whether he needs to be cremated before burning his body. If the cremation site is located at a remote distance and should be reached for a long time or when the farewell procedure is scheduled immediately before the cremation of the deceased, it is recommended that the body be embalmed.
The church is very indifferent to the above procedure. There is a position according to which the burning of the body itself does not contradict the church canons. However, a certain part of the clergy is extremely negative about cremation. Not much time has passed since the moment when the clergy began to funeral for the dead directly in the crematorium building.
