Matthews, NC direct cremation

Matthews, NC direct cremation is becoming more popular around here and in other regions of the country. It’s the most simple disposition method that can take place after a loved one passes on. It is also the most economical as it costs less than traditional burial or other forms of cremation. Just because your loved one goes straight to cremation after the paperwork is in order doesn’t mean you can’t have some type of service later. In fact, many people want to do something special with the cremains of their loved one after direct cremation. You can, of course, bury the ashes, or store them in an urn on your mantel. But that’s not always the right answer for those who want something unique. Here are a few intriguing ideas that might be fitting for your loved one.  

Create a Fireworks Display 

Celebrate your loved one’s life after direct cremation by throwing a celebration of life event that is capped off with a fireworks display. The display is all that much more meaningful if some of your loved one’s remains are added to the firecrackers. If your loved one enjoyed fireworks every year or they were always the highlight of any room, a fireworks celebration with their ashes could be the perfect fit.  

Send Them Into Space 

Was your loved one someone who was in awe of space and all of the many things that are out there that we don’t even know about? If your loved one wanted to be an astronaut, but life got in the way, consider sending some of their ashes into space after direct cremation in Matthews, NC. You can send even a small amount of cremains for a smaller fee and have them spread in space. You won’t be able to go along with them to see it happen, but at least you know they are out of this world, quite literally.  

Put Them in a Picture 

If you or your loved one enjoy fine art, have some of their ashes mixed with paint and create a painting that will always remind you of them. If someone in your family enjoys painting, the picture can be even more special. Otherwise, you can hire someone whose artwork you appreciate to do that part of the tribute for you.
