What is a direct cremation?

A direct cremation is the simplest (and most economical) cremation option. It is a cremation without any services or ceremony. The deceased is collected from the place of death, transferred to the funeral location, and prepared for cremation. All the necessary paperwork is completed, and the cremation is conducted. The cremated remains are returned directly to the family in a temporary cremation urn.

Can I still have a service with a direct cremation in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes, of course!  Many families choose to conduct memorial services once they have the cremated remains returned from the crematory. You can use the services of a life celebrant or your minister to deliver memorial services or (as more families are choosing) opt to arrange your own services. This obviously can save you a lot of money from the full cost of a funeral service in Fort Lauderdale.

What if the Deceased is at the Medical Examiners?

If the death was sudden, an accident, or unexplained, the deceased may be taken to the coroner’s Office to determine a cause of death.  Once this has been determined, the coroner will release the body to the funeral home or crematory.

Only a licensed funeral director can collect the deceased from the ME.  You will need to sign a Release Form, and the funeral director will make arrangements to transfer your loved one into their care.  As the death certificate and cremation permit will also be released with the body, this can expedite the process for arranging a direct cremation.

End of life services and experiences are something most of us choose not to reflect upon until we are suddenly faced with dealing with it. I have been contributing comprehensive and independent resources for families that explain how the funeral industry operates, and the laws that govern funeral practices.
