In order to help you better understand what direct cremation is, you need to know what is fact and what is fiction.

Myth: Cremation involves fire.

Fact: Cremation does not involve fire.

The modern day cremation process is quick, clean, and has nothing to do with fire. In order to cremate a body, it is exposed to extreme temperatures in a furnace designed specifically for cremating bodies. This reduces the body to bone fragments and gases. Then, the bone fragments are placed in a processor which converts them to ashes for the family.

Myth: Cremation is always cheaper.

Fact: The price of cremation varies - however direct cremation in NJ costs much less than any service including a viewing.

In theory, cremation is cheaper than the alternatives. It is not uncommon for someone to want to be embalmed and placed in a casket for a viewing during his or her funeral before he or she is cremated. Direct cremation forgoes any service, instead transporting the recently deceased directly to our crematorium for immediate cremation. This method alleviates many costs associated with a viewing or traditional service preceding the cremation.

Myth: Cremation is eco-friendly.

Fact: This depends on how you look at it.

It is important to understand that most crematoriums still use fossil fuels to cremate a body. You, however, won’t be taking up any space in the ground with cremation as you would with a burial. Truthfully, cremation isn’t anymore or any less eco-friendly than a burial would be.

Direct cremation in NJ is a choice only you should make. It, however, is a good idea for you to understand what is and is not true about the process to make sure you are getting everything you want.

Direct Cremation NJ

As unfortunate as it is, the only part of life we have any certainty over is that it will end. However, although death is certain, it can come about at any time and leave the surviving friends and family reeling. Not only is there mourning and pain, often times an economic burden is placed upon the family members of the deceased. Hospital and treatment costs are one thing, but the post-death costs are where the bank accounts get truly depleted. There are alternatives available. Direct cremation in NJ reunites the deceased with remaining family in a timely manner while saving costs associated with more traditional methods.

At Bergen Funeral, our caring funeral staff understands the vast hardships that follow a death. If a conversation about funeral arrangements hadn't occurred in life, suddenly making these decisions can make many feel uncomfortable and confused. Our professional funeral staff will guide you through your options, offering assistance during this extremely difficult time. For those who have economic restrictions or far-reaching family unable to attend the funeral on short notice, direct cremation in NJ enables you to honor the life and memory of a loved one how you wish, at a time of your choosing, and allows for family and friends to pay their final respects and offer condolences.

Let's look at some of the costs associated with the traditional funeral. Of course, you need a cemetery plot, which is nothing other than buying a piece of hotly contested, highly demanded property. Then, you need a casket that will be lowered into the plot. Of course, you will need the body to be prepared for the viewings and also for burial. Then the body must be transported to the site of burial. This is all before the service itself is bought.

This is why many are opting for direct cremation in NJ to save money in these difficult situations. Direct cremations are done for various reasons, but often times it is suggested by the departed before they pass on. Family members may rest a little easier in these cases, knowing they won't have to put out a second mortgage or sell a valuable artifact to cover the funeral costs.

A direct cremation in NJ is different than traditional cremation in that it is done right away, after the person has passed. This will prevent any body preparation or upkeep, and save time, money, and energy for all parties involved. You may bring your own urn, or take the remains in one of the available containers offered on site.
