The Cremation Society Of Milwaukee understands that navigating end-of-life decisions can be a sensitive and often daunting task. This guide aims to provide you with clear, compassionate information about cremation, addressing common questions and concerns to help you make informed choices for yourself or your loved ones.
What is Cremation?
Cremation is a process of respectfully handling human remains through intense heat, reducing the body to bone fragments, commonly referred to as “cremains.” These cremains are then carefully processed into a finer texture and placed in an urn or container chosen by the family.

Benefits of Choosing Cremation
Many individuals and families are increasingly choosing cremation due to its:
- Affordability: Cremation generally costs less than traditional burial, offering a more budget-friendly option without compromising on respect and dignity.
- Flexibility: Cremation allows for greater flexibility in memorial arrangements. Families can choose to hold a memorial service at a later date, scatter ashes in a meaningful location, or keep the urn at home.
- Environmental Considerations: Cremation has a smaller environmental footprint compared to traditional burial, which often involves embalming fluids and the use of non-biodegradable materials.

What Happens After Cremation?
After the cremation process, families have numerous options for memorialization. These include:
- Scattering Ashes: Scattering ashes in a place that held significance for the deceased, such as a favorite park, beach, or mountain, can be a deeply personal and meaningful way to honor their memory.
- Interment: Cremains can be interred in a columbarium (a structure with niches for urns), buried in a cemetery plot, or placed in a cremation bench.
- Keepsakes: Portioning cremains into smaller keepsake urns or cremation jewelry allows multiple family members to keep a part of their loved one close.
