Just
like burial, cremation can occur after a funeral where the casket is present at
one's place of worship or a funeral chapel. The only real difference
between a funeral followed by burial and one followed by cremation is that the
body is taken to the crematory after the service in lieu of a procession to the
cemetery. the funeral may be preceded by by a period of visitation at the
funeral home. During this time and before the service the casket may be
open or closed, according to the preferences of the survivors. Some may
opt to receive friends at the residence or other location, which another matter
of personal feeling and choice. Following the funeral , the body is
cremated in the casket of placed in a special cremation container if a type of
rental casket was selected. Following the cremation, a public or private service
may be arranged for the final placement of the cremated remains.
