Cremation is a process in which a body is reduced through high-temperature burning to ash and bone fragments. The cremation process typically begins with preparation of the body, including washing, dressing, and placement in a cremation container or casket, after which the body is placed in a cremation chamber and exposed to high temperatures for a period of one to two hours; the resulting ashes are then collected, processed, and returned to the family. Cremation is chosen for its lower cost compared with traditional burial, its flexibility in memorialization and funeral services, and its reduced environmental impact, and it also allows remains to be transported or stored more easily for scattering or dividing among several locations.

A range of cremation options is available, including traditional cremation, in which a funeral service precedes cremation; direct cremation, a simple cremation without a funeral service; cremation with a memorial service held afterward, often with an urn present; and green cremation, an eco-friendly option using biodegradable materials. In Florida, cremation is regulated by the Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Funeral, Cemetery, and Consumer Services. State guidelines require written authorization for cremation from a legal representative or next of kin, a combustible container such as a casket, alternative container, or biodegradable urn, and crematory operations that comply with environmental regulations and maintain a clean, dignified, and respectful environment. Families choosing a provider are advised to consider experience and reputation, the services and options offered, facilities and equipment, and transparent costs. Cremated remains may be interred in a cemetery or memorial garden, scattered in a special location, kept in an urn at home, or divided among family members and friends.
