A Gentler Return to the Earth: Funeral and Cremation in Aurora, CO

There are quite a few choices to prepare your loved one for their final disposition, and we are pleased to offer these selections to our clients and families. Let's go over some of these here:

Burial: Our focus has always been to help families use internment with the least amount of environmental impact possible. We love to help facilitate green burials with burial shrouds or all wood caskets. It is an option and sometimes necessary to embalm a body to sanitize and temporarily preserve it until burial can be completed.

Fire Cremation: This is a process most of us think of when we hear the word cremation. Each cremation is performed for one person at a time--per applicable laws, regulations, and best ethical practices. The secure identity of the deceased is carefully protected with protocols meant to ensure there is no room for human error or mix-ups. Then, the body is reduced to the most basic elements in just a few hours via incineration by fire.

Water Cremation: Water cremation dissolves the final remains using an alkali solution of liquids and a secured chamber. The softer tissues of the body can be broken down in a matter of hours, leaving only the hardest skeletal remains and a nutrient-rich solution. As with a fire cremation, the remaining bones are then taken and ground into a fine-textured substance and returned to the family as "ashes" or cremated remains. The resulting liquid solution can be donated to agriculture, or the family can have a portion for a "watering ceremony." In both fire and water applications, cremation is an irreversible process.

Biological Human Composting: An alternative to cremation and burial is the option to have the remains respectfully composted for a very natural return to the earth. The process takes a few months, but the body is packed in straw and other biological materials to hasten the molecular breakdown of the remains and return them to nutrient-rich soil.

The Role of Honoring Ceremonies

You have options with how you choose to prepare the body and place the remains for the final disposition. It can be helpful to understand that there are options for combining these services for the same person, especially with a funeral and cremation in Aurora, CO. It is also good to recognize that different faith traditions have special meaning. We offer our expertise to the Jewish community and welcome people from other faiths, and we will do our best to help honor your traditions.

Celebration of Life: Often held as part of memorial service, a Celebration of Life is an event that honors the deceased person, their talents, contributions, legacy, and even their hobbies. These can be highly personalized events to reflect the unique individual being honored. Memorial services are typically held without the intact human remains of the deceased present. However, it is possible and works very well to include cremated remains as part of this service in some cases.

Receptions: These events are optional and often held after the final remains have been placed and other funerary-styled events are concluded. This can be a time for mourners to mingle, eat, drink and connect after the honoring services are completed.
