When you find yourself looking for information about funeral and cremation in Lyons, IL, it can be overwhelming to sort through the many opinions, ideas, and websites that abound on this topic. At Johnson-Nosek Funeral Home, we offer a full range of services, including funerals, burials, memorials, or cremations. Today let's talk about these services and how we can assist you at any stage of the planning process.
A funeral is most often held within a short period of time to the passing of the individual. The body is typically present for the service. Alternatively, a memorial service is similar to a funeral, but the casket is not present, though the cremated remains might be. A memorial service can be held close to the date of passing but oftentimes is scheduled further out for any number of reasons. One is certainly not better than the other. It simply comes down to what fits in the particular circumstances.
Funeral and Cremation Differences in Lyons, IL
Casket burials in cemeteries have been a common solution to a final resting place for decades. However, cremation can be a great option and is rising in popularity for various reasons. Here are a few things to know about cremation if this is a topic you don’t have a lot of familiarity with at this time:
- Cremation can sometimes be more affordable than casket burial. At Johnson-Nosek, we give you the most transparent quotes we possibly can. We include all fees and permit costs in our pricing. We won’t tell you one price and then add on a bunch of “fees” as we have heard other companies do.
- Cremation can give you more options for the timing of your memorial services. Without a pressing funeral date, many decisions and their immediacy are considerably eased. For example, without a pending funeral and immediate burial, decisions like choosing a casket, plot, and planning the services are not necessary at that time. Some people choose to keep things less formal altogether after the remains are cremated as well. You can keep the ashes nearby to feel close to their departed loved one or scatter the ashes at a meaningful place with just close relatives or friends. Whatever brings you and your relatives closure is the right choice for your situation.
- Cremation is actually the tradition of many families. Be sure to talk with us about any preferences you may have and we will accommodate you as we are able.
