Date of death. Burial was 10 days later; I had the ashes several days prior. Archived Message

Its probably the area you live in. Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message My only experiences are recent, but it appears impossible to have a timely service with the ashes actually present. My cynical take is that as more people are opting for cremation instead of a traditional burial, funeral homes are pushing the process length so that the bereaved will go ahead and pay for embalming and a casket rental even if they ultimately are going to cremate just to have something there of the deceased at the service besides a photograph. I could be mistaken, though, has anyone ever attended a funeral with an urn that falls within the usual timeline?
