Most airlines allow cremated remains on board as carry-on or checked baggage, but the container holding the remains must pass through the x-ray machine or it will not be allowed through security. Cremated remains can also be air-shipped as cargo but only by known shippers (a known shipper is designated as such after passing inspection and qualification rules set by the US Transport Security Agency [TSA]). In addition, to transport remains on an airplane, you must provide a death or cremation certificate for the cremated remains in order to carry them on board.

We believe cremation can and should be an experience, not just a disposition choice (between burial or cremation). An experience, saying goodbye to a loved one, is necessary regardless of what you choose for the body’s final resting place. The grieving process starts at a funeral, celebration of life, or gathering of some sort. Sharing memories and the life of your loved one makes such an impact. In planning for your own funeral, or at the time of need for a loved one, consider creating an experience for friends, families, colleagues, and neighbors to say goodbye and begin the grieving process. If you would like us to contact you to answer any questions regarding a celebration of life, let us know if you prefer communication by phone or email: http://204988.celebrate-life.us/reach-out/

Is Cremation the right choice for you? Consider these when making a decision: 1) Cremation opens up more options, not less. When you choose cremation, you can still choose service and celebration of life options. You get to decide how cremated remains are dispersed: scattering, urn placement, burial and more. If you don’t want to be restricted by limited options, choose cremation. 2) Cremation is a permanent decision. It’s best to think through this decision, and be sure it ...discuss it with your loved ones. It’s important that next of kin and family understand your wishes and the serious thought you’ve put into it. 3) Some religions and denominations have different views on cremation as a final disposition. If a religious funeral is a priority for you, make sure you know your religion’s stance on cremation. 4) Cremation is still a relatively new choice and therefore concerns arise regarding respect of the body and respect for cremated remains. It’s important to note that only the highest standards exist for cremation, just like burial. If you value viewing the body during a service, that can be done with cremation. Listing what is most important to you will help in deciding if cremation is a viable option for you. Are you interested in reading more about cremation?

Grief is not a disorder, a disease or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, physical and spiritual necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve. - Earl Grollman What emotions do you feel from your grief? Don’t let anyone lead you to think that there is a timeline or any organization to grief. Sometimes grief feels like fear, other times like anxiety, many times sadness, and even it feels like bittersweet moments in the present. It takes a...n incredible amount of strength and courage to work your way through grief, to make sense of life again, and to carry on living and moving forward. - Unknown We know that your life will never be the same without your loved one, and that grief never really goes away, it just evolves.

Working in the funeral profession day after day, we sometimes we forget that there is vocabulary that others outside the profession might not fully understand. Celebrant is one of those words In the funeral profession, a celebrant is a non-clergy professional that conducts formal memorials or celebration of life services. They are dedicated to conduct meaningful services that honor and remember a life lived. They can do so without linking to religious affiliation or belie...fs, or include the deceased beliefs as requested. The message of their service includes unique sharing of how the deceased lived their life, their personality and values, and even memories from family and friends. Not only do they perform the funeral service, they actually plan and oversee all funeral proceedings. A funeral celebrant is there to help you decide on any and all details as you are arranging the funeral. A funeral celebrant and a funeral director have many of the same roles. Many funeral celebrants are actually also licensed funeral directors and vice versa.

3 Truths About Grief: 1) Grief is personal. You will never find two with the same grief journey, so don't compare yours to others.... 2) Grief is not a linear journey. Some days you may feel okay, other days fearful, and other days 5 feelings at once. Try to handle emotions with patience. 3) Grief is natural. You may feel like you are losing your mind but in fact grief is a natural reaction to loss. Not only does it affect you mentally but it comes with physical symptoms as well. Practice self-care!

Although not all veterans grieve in the same way, sometimes the unique conflict situation veterans face and their inability to take time off to grieve the loss of a fellow service member, frequently brings on specific instances of survivor guilt and traumatic grief. Survivor guilt can be very intense for veterans, in fact it is most common among veterans diagnosed with Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Traumatic grief occurs when a loss is sudden, violent, and/or comple...tely unexpected. This kind of grieving can also extend into physical pain, mental anxiety, and stress disorders. There is no right or wrong way for veterans to come to terms with grief and loss. Veterans experiencing survivor guilt or traumatic grief are encouraged to seek professional help. There are numerous resources available from family, friends, and organizations who stand ready to offer assistance. To learn more about veteran offerings, contact us at your convenience.

Always be conscious of state and federal laws when scattering, and be sure to check with the location first. Cremation is an ancient tradition, dating back at least 20,000 years. Scattering cremated remains is a wonderful and time honored way to lay your loved ones to rest. Do you have any interesting places you’d want to be scattered?

We take great care in answering this common question. Just like adults, children’s grieving journeys can begin at a funeral. So the short answer is yes. The long answer: We think it’s best that you share with your children as much as possible in preparation of what they will experience. Explain to them that there will be people there that are sad, and even crying. Be sure to let them ask as many questions as they can in advance. For babies, toddlers and very young children, it is up to you if you think they can participate in a visitation, funeral, celebration of life, or gathering.
