Planning

Here are a few of the things you need to consider when selecting the PyreFyre way of commemorating your passing into the afterlife. Have someone perform the cremation, plan the memorial gathering, and pick a place to scatter those ashes. The bottom line is to take away the somber mood and let everyone remember the good times they shared with you. So be creative and set up a memorable gathering to toast your life or the life of your loved one. Remember, the memorial service and celebration of the life is often before the cremation if a person donates their body to science. In this case, our recommendation is that an alternate focal point be at the gathering of your friends and family. This will often be pictures or crafts and art made by you or your loved one. Select anything that will remind your family and friends of your life
Preplanning:

The purpose of preplanning is to get your wishes documented so your next of kin will not have to worry so much about the details. Please don’t come back and haunt your kin if the arrangements are not followed to the letter. You can choose to write them on paper, use a word processor, or buy a kit. There are also books available at your local bookstore for planning.
Select your advocate:

This may be your spouse, children, or a trusted friend. It could be the executor of your will. It is important that you take your written request and go over it with them so they understand all your wishes and are willing to carry them out.
Pick the crematorium:

You may or may not want to pick your crematorium. Donate your body to science and you can let them take care of this part. If you pick a crematorium, you will make it a lot easier on your surviving family. Just remember to go check it out, ask some people who are satisfied with their service, and always pick a reputable one. You should always select the one that gives the best value for your money not the cheapest.
Plan your wake

Pick the place to have your celebration or wake. The celebration is of your life and all its memories so your family and friends can console your closest love ones. Food and drink should be provided along with a nice meeting place. You can pick an indoor place, a resort, or something outside in nature. A good idea is to pick a spot that people associate with your life.
Your final resting place.

Think back through all the great places you have traveled and those that made you the happiest. Let your family know while you are still alive why you selected to have your ashes scattered at this place. The sky and space is the limit with where to scatter your ashes. Please check out the laws and stay away from private property without permission. Generally you can go to any forest or national park and spread them as a private citizen. It is best to keep it all low key so you don’t offend anyone.
