Fact About Cremation -
The Process & Final Good Bye of your loved one
Cremation
or burning the dead is not a new concept and was a part of the culture long
before recession hit America to drain their pennies. The concept is as old as
the Stone Age itself, but was not as common in rest of the world as it was in
Ancient Greece and Rome.
For
religions like Hinduism and Jainism, cremation is not only permitted but also
preferred. The brakes on the practice of burning the dead were put with the
rise of Christianity. The Emperor Constantine hit the final nail in the coffin
by adopting Christianity as the Roman Empire’s official religion.
By the
5th century cremation lost its existence in the European continent.
The
good part is from the past decade Christians in the west have again moved back
to the cremation practice that once was the punishable offense.
With American
cremation services making its way back in the west, there are a few myths that
come along.
At
crematoriums especially here in the west, we prefer electrical cremation over
traditional eastern way of burning the dead on pyres in open ground. And since
things happen in a closed room there is a lot that creates doubt.
People
doubt the authenticity of cremains (Remains after cremation) since they do not
get to see what goes in the cremation machine. But these boxes are named and
the cremains are accordingly separated. One body is cremated at once to
maintain authenticity and to respect the dead.
Family
of the deceased is in advanced told to remove any metal piece that the body is
wearing, but in case something remains it is carefully removed and handed over
to the family.
Few
people doubt of coffins being reused. But instead the reality is coffins too
are burnt with the body and the plastic handles melt. Nothing, clearly nothing
remains to be reused.
People
believe the final rituals are to be done only by priests, but here anyone from
the family can offer the last service thus, keeping the grievance very
personal.
Death
is an unavoidable truth. It is not easy to trust anyone and everyone with the
final rituals of your beloved. at Christ USA, with an highly affectionate staff we strive to be by your side in the tough times.
