Pre-planning your own affordable cremation service can really help your loved ones during what is likely to be one of the most challenging experiences they will ever undergo.
If you’ve decided that you would like to be cremated, we recommend considering how you would like your service to proceed. You can also sit down with us for a pre-planning meeting to discuss cremation arrangements, such as preferences for your urn, music choices and much more.
Over two thirds of New Zealanders are now choosing to be cremated after they pass on. There are several reasons why affordable cremation services are becoming an increasingly popular choice.
They’re Affordable
Cremation services in Tauranga are far more affordable than burial services. There are numerous aspects of the service you won’t have to pay for if you choose a cremation instead of a burial, such as the burial plot and interment fees.
They’re Eco-Friendly
Burials involve more resources than cremations, so if you or your loved one has been particularly environmentally conscious, we recommend choosing direct cremation services as the more eco-friendly option.
You Can Have A Later Memorial Service
After your loved one has been cremated, you have the option of using their ashes as part of a memorial service. This is a wonderful opportunity to come together with family and friends to celebrate the deceased’s life.
You could scatter their remains in a place that is significant to them, such as:
You could also keep their ashes at home in an urn or even make them into items of jewellery such as a necklace or ring.
Please note that it is important to consider practical and legal factors when scattering your loved one’s ashes. For instance, you should not simply scatter them in a public place without first ensuring that you have permission to do so.
During a cremation, the deceased’s body is reduced to ashes by being exposed to extreme heat – usually around 760 to 1000 degrees Celsius. This can take up to 2 hours as the body turns to ash, but the duration of the cremation can depend on the body size and the type of incinerator being used. Any remaining bone fragments are usually removed and/or ground up and added to the ashes.
At Bay Cremation Care, we offer affordable cremation services that can efficiently and effectively turn your (or a loved one’s) remains into ashes with care and compassion. From the moment we receive the body to the moment it enters the cremation chamber, you can rest assured that the Bay Cremation Care team will deliver exceptional direct cremation services.
The ashes will then be placed in an urn or temporary container and given to the deceased’s family. What you do with the ashes after cremation is often up to the discretion of the deceased’s family.
