Cremation may not be the end of your loved one's journey. You'll be presented with a small container containing cremated ashes, which should weigh (on average for an adult) around five pounds. What happens to these remains is up to you, but there are many cremation services to assist you with the next stage of your loved one's journey.
Keep
You could decide to keep your loved one's ashes at home, so they'll always be with you.
