Cremated remains can be kept in an urn, stored in a special memorial building (columbarium), buried in the ground at many locations or sprinkled on a special field, mountain, or in the sea. In addition, there are several services in which the cremated remains will be scattered in a variety of ways and locations. Some examples are via a helium balloon, through fireworks, shot from shotgun shells, by boat[63] or scattered from an aeroplane. One service sends a lipstick-tube sized sample of the cremated remains into low earth orbit, where they remain for years (but not permanently) before reentering the atmosphere. Some companies[64] offer a service to turn part of the cremated remains into synthetic diamonds which can then be made into jewelry.[65]

Traditionally, Zoroastrianism disavows cremation or burial to preclude pollution of fire or earth. The traditional method of corpse disposal is through ritual exposure in a "Tower of Silence", but both burial and cremation are increasingly popular alternatives. Some contemporary adhererents of the faith have opted for cremation. Parsi-Zoroastrian singer Freddie Mercury of the group Queen was cremated after his death.

A dead adult Hindu is mourned with a cremation, while a dead child is typically buried.[106][107] The rite of passage is performed in harmony with the Hindu religious view that the microcosm of all living beings is a reflection of a macrocosm of the universe.[108] The soul (Atman, Brahman) is the essence and immortal that is released at the Antyeshti ritual, but both the body and the universe are vehicles and transitory in various schools of Hinduism. They consist of five elements – air, water, fire, earth and space.[108] The last rite of passage returns the body to the five elements and origins.[106][108][109] The roots of this belief are found in the Vedas, for example in the hymns of Rigveda in section 10.16, as follows:
In Europe, a movement to reintroduce cremation as a viable method for body disposal began in the 1870s. This was made possible by the invention of new furnace technology and contact with eastern cultures that practiced it.[15] At the time, many proponents believed in the miasma theory, and that cremation would reduce the "bad air" that caused diseases.[16] These movements were associated with secularism and gained a following in cultural and intellectual circles.[15] In Italy, the movement was associated with anti-clericalism and Freemasonry, whereas these were not major themes of the movement in Britain.[9]
A phone call to an 800 number on the paperwork led me to Maryann. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate all that she did for me. She patiently led me to step by step through the process and it could not have been easier. A couple of signatures from me and she took care of the rest. I would give her 10 stars if I could. So based on my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend National Cremation Services to anyone.
Funeral plants make a great substitute for flowers. Funerals often feature lavish displays of flowers, like funeral sprays. Plants will add some variety to the floral arrangements at the service. Send your plant in a beautiful condolence gift, vase, or basket for additional luster. These remembrance vases can be displayed in the recipient’s home after the funeral.Plants also last for a longer span of time than flowers do, and so the recipient of a plant can take meaningful joy in cultivating the plant and helping it grow. The best way to take care of yourself, after all, is to take care of something else.Instead of sending floral arrangements to the funeral service, you could also send sympathy gifts to the grieving person’s home. A few of our sympathy gifts that are well-suited for the home include:●       Sympathy flowers●       Sympathy plantsFloral arrangements aside, you could also send a gourmet gift basket or a remembrance figurine. Our gourmet gift baskets are decoratively packed with sweets and treats that will provide much-needed nourishment and comfort food to the bereaved. A remembrance figurine may be given as a beautiful memento of the departed person, and it’s small enough to be placed anywhere within the home, to remind them you care and support them.

Ideally, a funeral plant should have luscious green leaves, but it should also sprout elegant flowers. A few of the plants that are most optimal for a funeral service include:●       Lily plants●       Dracaena plants●       Palm plants●       Philodendron plantsThere are other great options, too. But rest assured that all of our FTD plant arrangements have a beautiful variety of plants that are exceedingly well-cultivated.
^ Robert Pasnau, in the introduction to his translation of Summa Theologiae, says that Aquinas is "...quite clear in rejecting the sort of substance dualism proposed by Plato [...] which goes so far as to identify human beings with their souls alone, as if the body were a kind of clothing that we put on," and that Aquinas believed that "we are a composite of soul and body, that a soul all by itself would not be a human being."

I was fortunate enough to have Stephen Barreto assist me in making cremation arrangements for my husband, Robert H. Shaffer. Mr. Barreto was efficient and professional. He even arranged for the service at Cape Canaveral National Memorial Cemetery, in Mims, Florida. During this difficult time, his constant vigilance put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend National Cremation Services and Mr. Barreto to my friends and family. THANK YOU, MR. BARRETO!
