There are many decisions to make when arranging the funeral of a loved one who has died. For example:
* Where and when will the funeral be?
* Will the deceased be buried or '''cremated'''?
* Will there be an '''obituary notice''' or funeral announcement published in the paper?

By law in BC, a deceased person must be buried or '''cremated'''.
Cremation involves using extreme heat and processing to turn the body into sand-like “ashes”. The ashes are placed into an urn.
