I have never had to experience this part of life. It’s one of the hardest things you’ll have to do. Trident Society did a fantastic job the whole way through this journey. They are so professional and there for all your needs. I am so glad we were able to work together through this. Thank you Trident

Can I plan my own cremation with remembrance and memorialization in advance?

Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022
Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022

Yes, making plans in advance of the time of need ensures that your wishes will be known. Your family will not have the burden of guessing what you would have wanted or how much to spend.

Isnt cremation less expensive than traditional burial?

Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022
Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022

There is a wide selection of choices and price ranges for cremation services and merchandise. As with traditional burial, your family will decide how much or how little to spend on a cremation service. If you choose to preplan and prefund your own plans, you can decide what cost is appropriate in advance of the time of need.

Are the services held before or after cremation?

Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022
Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022

Gatherings of any type (visitations, memorial services, etc.) can be held at your familys discretion. The gathering is a place and time for your family and friends to come together to celebrate special memories of your loved one and to support each other during your time of loss. Many choose to have a traditional service first, followed by the cremation. Others hold a memorial service at some point before or after the cremation.

What is involved in the cremation process?

Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022
Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022

Before cremation can take place, the attending physician or medical examiner must complete and sign the death certificate. All civil and medical authorities must issue all required permits. The next of kin or other authorized person must provide the authorization to cremate. Your funeral provider can assist you through this process to ensure that all necessary paperwork is completed and authorizations and permits are obtained. Regulations in many states also require that a certain number of hours transpire after the death occurs (usually 24 to 48 hours). After these conditions are met, the cremation takes place. Afterward, the cremated remains are placed in the urn your family selects.

Can we have a funeral if we are choosing cremation?

Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022
Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022

Yes. Cremation (like burial) is a separate event from the funeral or memorial service. Selecting cremation does not diminish the important need for some type of gathering that will honor and celebrate the life of your loved one. A service can be held either before or after the cremation has taken place. A family may choose to have a viewing prior to cremation or a service with or without the cremated remains (ashes) present.

Can we hold the memorial service somewhere other than a funeral home or chapel?

Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022
Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022

Yes. While funeral and memorial services have traditionally been held at churches, synagogues or funeral facilities, they can also take place at many other locations: a friend or family members home, parks, beaches, reception halls, golf courses or any other location your family wishes. You may also choose to and scatter your loved ones remains from our yacht, the Naiad, and have a gathering on board. In addition to the immediate event, you may also want to consider holding another memorial event at a future date. We can help arrange events at any time and in almost any location.

In the event of a death, what should the family do?

Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022
Trident Society | Jan 23, 2022
