Buch Funeral Home - Cremation Options




	• Pre-planning Services • Pre-funding Options • Traditional Funerals • Cremation Options • Request For Price List

A recent survey revealed that nearly half of all Americans plan to choose cremation for themselves or their loved ones. Some people consider cremation a more natural process than burial. Others have concerns about the environment. Whatever the reason, cremation is the choice for many people.

It's important to remember that with cremation, you have all the same choices as with a traditional funeral. You can choose to hold a viewing, religious ceremony, visitation and a gathering after the ceremony. You may also choose to hold a memorial service after the cremation.

Does My Religion Allow Cremation?

In years past, some major religions did not sanction cremation. However, today most permit cremation. We recommend that you speak with your clergy at your place of worship to confirm that cremation is permissible.

Facts About Cremation
In the state of Pennsylvania, there is a minimum waiting period of 24 hours after death before cremation may take place. All cremations must be authorized by the local coroner where the death occurred. Embalming, in most cases, is not required by law. The Buch Funeral Home requires that all remains must be positively identified by the next of kin or legal representative prior to cremation.

All cremations are done individually. Following the cremation process, cremated remains may be buried, entombed, scattered or taken home. You are encouraged to ask us any and all questions you may have about cremation and the cremation process.
