cremation ceremony
Ash-making farewell rite
A cremation ceremony is a ritual or service held in connection with the burning of a deceased person's body.
It may occur before, during, or after the cremation itself, depending on cultural and religious traditions.
Some ceremonies take place at the cremation facility with mourners present; others are memorial services held separately.
