What to do with Unclaimed Ashes

Whether it’s in a basement, a storage closet, or lined up on a shelf, every funeral home has them – unclaimed ashes.

Are You in the Business of Storing Ashes

It’s estimated that approximately one percent of cremation ashes are not claimed.  As the number of cremations performed each year increases, those numbers can start to add up.  For funeral homes it can mean storing the remains in a climate-controlled room for decades.

There are many reasons cremated remains are not picked up.  Before prepaid funerals, some families didn’t have the money to pay the funeral home’s bill and therefore were reluctant to come by the funeral home.  Some families aren’t especially close and no one family member wants to take responsibility for their relative.  In some instances, the survivors simply don’t know what to do with the remains, so they do nothing. Their mostly just uninformed of all the options. Many don’t even know about scattering urns and cremation jewelry.

Holy Land Ash Scattering can assist in decreasing funeral home’s inventories of ashes and remove the liability of storing ashes indefinitely.  Holyland Ash Scattering has developed a private memorial scattering garden in the Holyland. The company will take care of all of the details to arrange safe and secure shipping of the ashes to their office in Israel. The ashes will then be scattered in the most spiritual place in the world. Overlooking the Sea of Galilee, in the hills where Jesus lived and taught, their private memorial garden is a sacred place for a secure, final disposition for all time.

To further commemorate the sacred scattering ceremony, the company professionally videotapes and preserves this event on DVD as well as a YouTube download, to give client families added piece of mind, and as keepsake to watch and share with friends and family.  A handsome framed certificate of scattering is also included as an heirloom gift to give the family.

Things to Know About Scattering Ashes

Following the cremation of a loved one, there are many decisions to be made.  The number one question is, “what will we do with the ashes”?

Industry statistics indicate that traditional funerals are no longer the norm and that more families are opting for cremation.  In fact, studies show that the cremation rate is approaching 50 percent.  In some states it is as high as 70 percent and it continues to rise.

Of those families opting for cremation, more then half of all cremations will seek to scatter

Not All Locations Are Legal

their ashes in a spiritual and meaningful way.  However, concerns of violating laws and having their loved ones ashes potentially “trespassing” for all eternity. This raises some concerns with the bereaved.

While cremation ashes have been known to be scattered in a wide variety of places, not all of those places are legal. For example, it is illegal to scatter cremation ashes in most public parks – particularly national parks. And, likewise, it is usually illegal to scatter cremation ashes over an inland body of water – or any place that is less than 3 miles off shore.

As an option, Holyland Ash Scattering offers a natural and spiritual way to create final closure.  Their private and dedicated memorial park in Israel overlooks the Sea of Galilee in the hills where Jesus lived and taught.  This serene and sacred place of rest will never be compromised.

Funeral Flower Etiquette

Funeral flowers and sympathy plants are usually sent to the funeral home, chapel at once procession.jpgwhen the news breaks of a death that  has been announced. Funeral homes and churches have a “wake,” “visitation” or calling hours, where survivors friends and family gather to pay their respects and tributes to the family. Proper funeral flower etiquette is to send funeral flowers or plants to the funeral home or church prior to the first visitation hours. If you are late in sending flowers and can not have flowers arrive in time for the first visitation it is still appropriate to send funeral flowers as long as they arrive prior to any additional visitations. If you have not sent funeral flowers in time for them to arrive prior to the last visitation you may want  send funeral flowers or a living funeral plant to the family at their home. Some people insist upon sending last minute funeral flower orders to the funeral home or church and some people insist upon having last minute funeral flower deliveries made directly to the graveside service. This is not considered proper etiquette as it is very disruptive and inconsiderate to have funeral flower deliveries arriving during the service. In many instances, last minute funeral flower orders are lost in the commotion of the funeral service and in other instances funeral directors will not accept last minute flower deliveries.

If you have missed the visitations and the funeral service it is considered very proper etiquette to send funeral flowers or a plant to the family of the deceased at their residence. In fact, it is considered appropriate etiquette to send funeral flowers or plants to the family of the deceased up to a month after the funeral service. Some people even prefer to send funeral flowers and plants at a later date because it is a great way to let the family of the deceased know that people are still thinking of them even after the funeral service has passed. Many people who have lost a loved one find this very comforting.

Funeral Flower Traditions

Funeral Flowers for Buddhist: The funeral will almost always take place in a funeral home and never in a temple. Sending funeral flowers is considered appropriate for a Buddhist funeral.

img_funeral.jpg

Funeral Flowers for Hindus: hold a funeral service on the day of death, before the sun goes down if possible. Sending flowers isn’t part of the Hindu tradition, but it may still be seen as a thoughtful gesture. You can safely send a nice funeral spray to commemorate the dead.

Funeral Flowers for Jewish: tradition doesn’t include the sending of flowers at death. It’s more appropriate to send gift baskets or fruit during the period of mourning. However, younger Jews may be more open to receiving flowers at home or at the foyer of the synagogue. The practice of sending flowers is better understood by ‘liberal’ Jews, while Orthodox Jews may not be appreciative.

Funeral Flowers for Mormons: (or Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) appreciate flowers and funeral sprays at the time of mourning. Don’t send them in the shape of a cross as this may offend, and note that Mormon funerals are not held in the temple.

Funeral Flowers for Muslim: or Islamic cultures may have differing opinions concerning funeral flowers, depending on their ethnic origin and perhaps even on what particular branch of Islam they are from. Ask the opinion of someone close to the family, if you can.

Funeral Flowers for Protestants: and Other Christian faiths accept all forms of funeral flowers. Certain branches or denominations farther out of the mainstream (especially in some Reformed traditions) may have particular ideas concerning simplicity and adornment, however.

Funeral Flowers for Roman Catholics: welcome flowers and funeral flower arrangements. There may be some particulars concerning delivery of funeral flowers to a church or cathedral
