LastConnectCremation: choices to discuss with a provider
Understand the service, costs and arrangements for the ashes.
Choose the kind of service
Cremation may be accompanied by a funeral beforehand or a memorial afterwards. Ask the provider which arrangements are available and compatible with local rules and your traditions.
Ask what is included
Request a written quotation for the cremation, transport, any service and the container for the ashes. Ask which products are required and which are optional.
Record wishes for the ashes
Explain whether you would prefer the ashes kept, buried or scattered. Check the rules and obtain any necessary permission for the chosen location.
Discuss participation
If family members wish to attend or take part in a ritual, ask the provider beforehand. Record these preferences so the person making arrangements can check what is possible.
