While other cities in the area have a farming industry, Blaine has to look for other means because of its sandy soil and abundant wetlands.

It is home to Minnesota's professional soccer team and a campus of Globe University/Minnesota School of Business.

With direct cremation, the body is cremated in the days following the death, and there is no service beforehand. It is the most economical option available. This eliminates the need for an expensive casket and the need for embalming or other body preparations. The service will then be held on another date. The funeral home will take care of the death certificate and the transportation of the body to the facility.

Direct Cremation

The O'Halloran and Murphy Funeral Home offers direct cremation services to the Ramsey and Hennepin County region. Cremation is an increasingly popular means of final disposition of remains, and it is expected that by 2018 more than 50% of Americans will choose cremation.

There are several key factors contributing to the growth of cremation, including a drive for new traditions, a variety of available service options, and greater affordability. Contributing to the cost factor of traditional burial are the expenses associated with embalming, viewing, and burial. While cost may not be the foremost consideration in one's mind during a time of grief, reducing these costs can help to lessen stress at a time when many people are already struggling emotionally. Choosing cremation is also viewed as environmentally friendly, as it preserves many of the resources used in a traditional burial and doesn't require the use of already-limited space for burial.

An awareness that cremation is carried out with the utmost reverence and respect for the deceased can bring comfort to loved ones as they begin their journey toward healing. Great care is taken with each cremation, as each is performed individually in a carefully controlled system. The entire process typically takes less than three hours from beginning to end.

Funeral and Cremation Options

There are many available options, including a traditional funeral service with burial, graveside service, funeral service with cremation, direct cremation with memorial service, or direct cremation without a service or memorial. In a traditional funeral service with burial, the family can opt for a viewing where the deceased lies in repose in an open casket. The deceased is then committed to the grave. An option with growing popularity is cremation.

When choosing cremation, it is still possible to have a traditional funeral service with viewing, with the deceased being cremated after the service. Some families choose a memorial service, where the deceased is cremated prior to the service in what's referred to as direct cremation. The cremated remains are typically displayed in an urn, surrounded by family photos and other things that were precious to the deceased. When direct cremation is chosen, the deceased will not be embalmed and is not available for viewing. There are many available options for the disposition of the cremated remains. A family may choose to take the cremated remains home for safe keeping, or they can arrange for the remains to be interred in a gravesite or above-ground vault or mausoleum, or the family may wish to arrange a scattering ceremony.
