Some families choose not to have a casket or urn but rather opt for a gathering to honour a life well lived.

Cremation has become more acceptable in recent years. Several religious traditions prefer or mandate this method. Some people don't like the idea of their body slowly decomposing. For others, it's an environmental preference. In some countries, space for traditional burial is lacking. Sometimes family members just want to keep the remains of their loved ones with them.

Cremated remains can be interred in a grave at a cemetery providing a memorial for future generations to visit. Ashes may be divided into small amounts for several loved ones to keep or scatter as they prefer. Some keep the burial urn nearby on a desktop or a fireplace mantel, or scatter the ashes on the homestead, perhaps in a garden or under a favourite tree or rosebush.

The government allows for the scattering of ashes. For an at-sea scattering, you must be 3 miles out. Boat services will take funeral groups to scatter ashes at a favourite place. 

Other less well-known choices include having a diamond made from a loved one's ashes or sending a small number of ashes on a memorial space flight. Ashes can be mixed in paint for a custom-made painting, or added to an existing painting. Keep a loved one's ashes close by wearing cremation jewellery, available in necklaces, bracelets, key chains, and rings. 

Some families do want to replace the traditional ceremony with a memorial where friends and families participate in scattering the ashes. Small amounts of the ashes may be distributed to several family members and close friends to keep or scatter as they prefer. Whatever your choice, cremation services help mourners say goodbye to the departed and help the grieving family get through the loneliness, loss, and grief.
