Funeral services can and ought to be unique to the remembered person. Celebrating their life and legacy, no matter how long it was, can bring a sense of closure and acceptance to the surviving loved ones. This is not to say they will be finished grieving as soon as the funeral is over—the actual healing work is only beginning, and loss is a long journey for most people. An opportunity to pay a final tribute in the presence of the deceased is thought to be supportive of healthy grieving. 

If casketed burial options are not appealing or possible, the corpse can be prepared through a cremation procedure. The body is burned, and the remaining elements are processed into a uniform grain-like texture called ashes. These processes are highly regulated and are always performed by only one person at a time. Families should select a provider they feel confident has their best interests at heart and will protect the dignity and security of the deceased remains.

While some families prefer to honor the deceased in the presence of the body, that is not always the case. Other times, having the body available as part of the honoring ceremonies may not be possible or practical. The memorial service is a wonderful alternative in any of these circumstances. The decedent can still be remembered and honored even if the remains have already been placed for final disposition.

Streamlined and straightforward is best for some families. An immediate burial or a brief funerary ceremony at the gravesite may be the most appropriate means of laying a loved one to rest. Many options for traditional, nontraditional, elaborate, or simplified final arrangement solutions can be explored. 

Having a place to visit in the coming weeks, months, and years can be a crucial coping tool for many grieving individuals. A cemetery is a beautiful place for such a site. If you are burying intact or cremated remains in any fashion, that location will naturally become this site. If the body is not interred, it may appeal to you to have a place of a permanent memorial set up at a burial ground, regardless. Here are some of the placement solutions that can be found at Harpeth Hills Memory Gardens Funeral Home & Cremation Center. 

Full-sized and urn plots are available for intact or cremated bodies to be buried in the ground. Select a site that matches your goals for aesthetics and budget.

As mentioned earlier, ground burial is an excellent option for inurned remains. The cremation gardens offer a beautiful, serene location to scatter the ashes of your loved one. Cremated bodies can also be entombed in columbarium niches for an above-earth interment solution.
