What is inhumation and cremation?
Inhumation refers to the act of laying to rest the deceased in a burial chamber. It is the most traditional way and is synonymous with burial. There are various types of chambers available: niches, tombs or pantheons.
Cremation involves incinerating the deceased and then handing over the ashes in an urn to the family. The ashes can be kept in a place designated for this purpose, such as a columbarium, or they can be disposed of in a different way than normal, such as being scattered at sea or in a space set aside for this purpose.
Cremation service
More and more families are now opting for a cremation when a loved one dies. As the price of incineration is cheaper, this is largely down to economic reasons. But it is also a practical matter, as the ashes are given to the family to dispose of freely, and can be placed in a cemetery or scattered in a special place. Furthermore, with a cremation, both the wishes of the deceased and of the family come into play, as well as, increasingly, an ecological conscience.
Therefore, at Serveis Funeraris Mallorca we use the most advanced technology when carrying out our cremation service, to minimise CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
We also offer families the option to choose between different types of urns for the ashes of their loved ones, among which we also include biodegradable urns.

Many families continue to opt for inhumation when a loved one dies. Because it is a traditional type of burial, for religious reasons, for the express wish of the deceased or for whatever other reason, families who choose a burial are looking for a comprehensive funeral service.
And that is what we offer at Serveis Funeraris Mallorca, by adding to the burial all the services that families may need:
- Transfer of the deceased by hearse from the funeral home to the cemetery.
- Choice of coffin from a wide variety of models and prices.
