Cremation

The body is cremated shortly after death, without embalming.  The cremated remains are placed in an urn or other container.  No viewing or visitation is involved, although a memorial service may be held, with or without the cremated remains present.  The remains can be kept in the home, buried, or placed in a crypt or niche in a cemetery.  Burial or scattering of cremated remains is subject to state and local law.
