What Do Cremation Packages Include?

Donohue Funeral Home • February 27, 2023

If you are using cremation services for a loved one, you will need to secure a cremation package for them. Even the basic package includes what they need.

It’s nice that when you choose cremation services in Wayne, PA for a loved one, you can simply pick a cremation package for them and know their needs will be met. Even the basic cremation package will have everything they have to have for the process. You can add anything else you want to that package, of course, but you can take your time with those decisions and have peace of mind knowing that your loved one is in good hands. Here are the things that cremation packages include, though some will cover more than this as well. 


The Transportation 


The first thing your loved one is going to need is transportation from the location of their death to the cremation provider’s facilities. The cremation provider can take care of that for you as soon as you hire them. You simply let them know where your loved one is and they will coordinate the rest with their special vehicles and professional personnel. Your loved one will be in good hands shortly. 


Interim Care 


While you get the paperwork in order and set everything up, your loved one is going to need a certain level of care. The cremation provider will care for them and that is all a part of the cremation package as well. They are in a good location where they will be watched over with dignity and respect until the cremation process takes place. 


The Cremation Process 


If you have chosen direct cremation, it can happen rather quickly—within a few days. You just have to get the paperwork in order, like the death certificate and the cremation consent form, and then the cremation process can continue. That process is the most expensive part of any package, but it is completely included in the package. You don’t have to pay extra for the process at all. 


A Simple Container 


Many people like to get an urn for their loved one’s cremated remains, and that’s completely possible. However, it’s never required as cremation packages include simple containers for your loved one, if you want to use that. These containers are little more than a cardboard box, but they work just fine and can suffice as a container after cremation. You can bury it, scatter ashes from it later, or do other such things. You can also use the simple container, for now, and buy an urn later, if you choose. The cremation provider can move the ashes from one to the other for you. 


Advice/Guidance/Help 


One of the biggest things the cremation provider will do for you is be there for you through the planning process. Their guidance, help, and advice is part of the package you get, even if you get something simple and basic. They will give you information you need to make decisions and they will implement the choices for you along the way. Cremation services in Wayne, PA can be simple with the right package and the right provider helping you through this hard time of grief and loss
