WHAT IS A BASIC CREMATION?
A basic cremation is the most
straightforward and cost-effective step taken in place of traditional funerals.
However, funeral service directors make sure that no compromise is made on the
level of care, dignity, and respect of the passed-away soul. Basic cremation is
affordable and is also known as direct cremation. This will be a non-attended
ceremony with no formal funeral service at all. The benefit of direct cremation
is that it is a quick method, and there is no significant expenditure involved.
