When a family is going to be burying a loved one, they usually don’t have any questions or concerns about what their loved one should wear. Most families choose to put their loved ones into something like a suit or a dress. But when a family is going to be cremating a loved one, they’re not always 100 percent sure what they should have their loved one wear. If you fall into this category, you should know that your loved one can wear any number of options during their cremation services in Millcreek, PA. See what some of your options will be below.
Hospital gown
If your family doesn’t want to have to worry about what your loved one will wear during their Millcreek, PA cremation, you can keep them in whatever they were wearing at the time of their death. Oftentimes, this will mean having your loved one wear the hospital gown that they were in when they died, assuming they died in a hospital setting. This is a good way to avoid cremating any of your loved one’s clothes during their cremation services.
Suit or dress
Just because your loved one is going to be cremated doesn’t mean you can’t still put them into their Sunday best. You’re more than welcome to have your loved one wear the same suit or dress that you would put them in if they were being buried. You will, of course, have to prepare to part ways with the suit or dress that you have your loved one cremated in. But it’s a nice option to have if you want to have your loved one looking their absolute best during the final moments on earth.
Favorite clothes
Did your loved one happen to have a go-to outfit that they put on almost all the time? If they did, that could be another option for them when you’re trying to pick something for them to wear during their cremation services. Even if their favorite clothes were a simple T-shirt and jeans, it’ll add some sentimentality to their cremation services. You’ll get the opportunity to see them in their favorite outfit one last time before they’re cremated.
No clothes at all
Does the idea of having your loved one leave the world in the same exact way in which they came into it appeal to you? Then you may want to toss around the idea of having your loved one 
cremated without any clothes on at all. Some funeral homes don’t feel comfortable taking this approach to cremation services, so you will have to check with yours to make sure it’s OK. But it’s yet another good option for families who are wondering what their loved ones should wear during their cremation.
