As cremation becomes more and more prevalent in today’s world, many families believe that by choosing cremation, they are opting for quick and efficient. But readers of my work also know that when it comes to funerals, faster, cheaper and easier are generally much less effective at helping grieving families embark on a healthy path to healing. In fact, slower and more complex is almost always better at helping families dose themselves with the “whys” of the funeral ritual.
The more elements-rich and personalised
a funeral is, the more it helps mourners
transition from life before the death to life
after the death. Another element, some of
today’s families need help in understanding
and embracing is the need for permanent
memorialisation. In choosing to take home
or scatter cremated remains, many families
simply do not fully anticipate the long term
repercussions of their choice.
Traditionally, the casket housed the body
of the person who died and, upon burial or

entombment, became the tangible, see able,
knowable final resting place. Cemeteries have
long been the place where you go to visit and
pay respects to your loved one then along
came cremated remains burial and cremation
niches, which served the same purpose. Now,
however, more and more families are choosing
to take the cremated remains home with them
in a decorative urn or container or sometimes
a simple cardboard box.
One 2014 survey showed that 54% of
California and Washington residents had
cremated remains in their homes, and I’m sure
that number has only increased. Many family
homes now house the cremated remains of
more than one person.
I must say that the family’s impulse to keep
their cremated loved one close can be borne
of love, making it an honourable and even
mourning-fostering choice. In the early weeks
and months after the death, having the
urn in the home can indeed be an effective
way for the primary mourners to continue
to acknowledge the reality of the death,
remember the person who died, initiate
discussions with others and encounter the
pain of the loss.
But in the longer term, as you know all too
well, home kept remains often become
problematic. What if they’re accidentally
spilled? Will anyone want to safeguard and
display them 10, 20 or 50 years from now?
What happens when more people in the family
die.
Scattered remains, of course, engender a
different set of challenges for families. In the
short-term, scattering cremated remains
in a location important to the family or the
person who died can feel like a good fit. After
all, the person who died is being honoured
in a personal way, and the scattering is often
surrounded by ceremony and attended by at
least several people who were closest to the
person who died and to each other. But in the
long run, scattering often creates a vacuum for
the family.
Where can one go to pay respects to the
person who died? The particulars of the
location are often lost to time, and even when
the location is known, it is often remote or
difficult to visit. And what happens when the
cremated remains have been scattered in
multiple locations? This practice can naturally
create confusing or even upsetting thoughts
and feelings down the line.
Permanent memorialisation provides a
suitable place to mourn, which helps people
heal. Second, it gives all mourners access to
a public location where they can go to pay
respects and connect with the person who
died. Families sometimes do not consider that
others who live outside the family home may
want to be able to visit the final resting place.
Third, the cemetery, mausoleum or cremation
garden will be around for generations to come.
Grandchildren and great-grandchildren and
on down the line will find meaning in having
a fixed, marked place that anchors their
personal histories. And fourth, the permanent
resting place is a practical choice. Families can
rest easy knowing that the cremated remains
are being taken care of in perpetuity.
The idea of having to pass along urns to the
next generation or amassing more and more
urns on a shelf (or in a closet!) is usually
enough to help families realise that keeping
the remains at home is not a viable long-term
solution.
Ours may be a throw-away, quick-fix society,
but in embracing memorialisation, you will be
counteracting this harmful trend. Generations
from now, families will still be visiting their
ancestors in your community’s cemeteries and
cremation gardens. The dead will be cared for
respectfully and with an understanding of the
sanctity and continuity of life.

Memorialisation

Puzzles Can Help Your Brain
Scientificstudieshaveproventhatworkingwithpuzzlesandotherlogic games helps improve reasoning, memory and logic. They promote a form of synergy between the left and right brain, termed by psychologists as a “full brain approach”. This can result in better memory, deeper learning and better recall. Puzzles appeal to our creative and logical minds, offering a full brain work out, especially for retirees who don’t have a daily work commitment.
Burstows recognises this and hope that by offering this Puzzle Book with up to three-month’s worth of fun brain exercises, we can actually help you improve your brain vibrancy as you get older. One of the biggest fears for us all as we get older is losing our mental sharpness, possibly developing dementia, Alzheimer’s or other mental illnesses – but by giving our brain a moderate workout on a frequent basis we can help hold off the onset of some of these issues.
Puzzles and games also instigate social interaction and communication. Doing puzzles together is a pleasurable experience for all participants helping to maintain social and communicative skills. Science has also shownthatwhenapuzzleisfinallycompletedthereisafeelingofsatisfaction and dopamine is released in the brain, as a kind of reward system for our efforts.
Please enjoy your FREE Burstows Puzzle Book. Remember all the answers and solutions can be found on our website www.burstows.com.au. They are published at the beginning of each month along with a couple of bonus questions that will give you an extra entry in the monthly draw for the $100 Coles voucher.
