What distinguishes a cremation from a funeral or burial?

The burial, funeral, and cremation procedures are all associated with the passing of a body and what occurs next. Many people leave detailed instructions in their wills about what they want to happen after they pass away.

An elaborate process is carried out to bury a loved one's remains next to some of their most precious belongings. The deceased person's remains could be placed in a sealed casket before being buried. The deceased are sometimes interred at columbariums that are connected to the temples or churches that families attend. Many societies bury their dead, and human burial dates back more than 100,000 years.

 


In certain societies, the deceased are buried with all the creature comforts they would require in the hereafter.

Funerals are ceremonies performed to honor, venerate, and sanctify the dead. Depending on the culture, there are many various ways to celebrate the life of the deceased. While some people offer prayers, others pray for peace. Additional rites include religious readings, body burning, mummification, and even bone harvesting. These ceremonies typically involve purifying the body and giving it a peaceful journey. Other cultures may also include drinking and remembering the loved one when honoring their life. 

Cremation is the process of turning a person's body into ashes. According to the description, the process involves the burning, vaporization, and oxidation of deceased corpses into basic chemical components like gases, ashes, and mineral shards that nonetheless resemble dry bone. Many cultures, like the Hindus, cremate their deceased before dispersing the ashes into the revered Ganges River.

In essence, cremation and burial are two distinct ways to dispose of a body, but a funeral is a ceremony meant to honor and commemorate the life of the deceased. Nirvana Memorial Garden in Singapore is your one-stop shop for funeral services in Singapore.
