There are several types of cremation and funeral services available, depending on your preferences and budget. Here are some of the most common options: 1. Traditional Funeral Service: A traditional funeral service typically involves embalming, viewing or visitation, a formal funeral ceremony, and burial or cremation. This service may be held in a church or funeral home and include music, readings, and eulogies. 2. Direct Cremation: Direct cremation is a simple and cost-effective option where the body is cremated shortly after death without a viewing or formal ceremony. The cremation ashes are then returned to the family.
