Cremation allows for flexibility regarding clothing, and the choice ultimately depends on the family’s wishes or prearrangements made by the deceased.
In most cases, individuals are cremated wearing clothes. This might include the clothing they were wearing at the time of their passing or attire provided by the family for a viewing or funeral service. If no specific clothing is selected, the funeral home typically dresses the deceased in a hospital gown or wraps them in a clean sheet.
Families may also include small personal items to be cremated alongside their loved one, such as trinkets, letters, or keepsakes. While most of these items are safe for the cremation process, certain materials are prohibited. Glass, fiberglass, liquids, explosives, sharp objects, and batteries cannot be included as they may pose safety risks or damage the cremation chamber.
Cremation is a personal process, and these choices can add a meaningful touch to honor the individual’s memory.
