Question
What is cremation?
Answer
Cremation is an alternative to a traditional burial when someone dies. It would still be appropriate to hold a service commemorating the persons life. After the service the coffin would be removed to the crematorium grounds, either privately or accompanied by the family. If the family accompany the coffin to the crematorium a short committal service may take place. After this the coffin and the remains will be cremated.
Question
Where can a person be cremated?
Answer
There are several crematoria around Ireland which we work with. We can recommend one to a family or work with any crematorium that the family desires.
Question
When are the ashes available?
Answer
Normally the ashes will be available 3-4 working days after the funeral has taken place. However, we can have them available for families on the same day if needed.
Question
What can I do with the ashes?
Answer
Usually when a family receives the Cremains they would inter them in a cemetery or scatter them somewhere that was significant to the deceased person. There are a number of other options available.
