People have a choice of either burial or cremation. This choice can be based on cultural or religious beliefs. For example, the Jewish faith prohibits cremation whereas it is a custom of the Hindu tradition.
Each option comes with choices:
- Location or specific cemetery/crematorium
- Grave style – Headstone, Lawn, Vault
- Ashes resting place – Crematorium, held by the family, or “scattered” at a favourite or special location of the departed.
