Why Choose Cremation

Cremation has quickly become one of the most popular trends in the funeral industry with more and more families selecting it over tradition burials. This trend is backed by a desire to give our loved ones a more personalized service as opposed to the traditional religious ones that often accompany burials.

There are many benefits of cremation that help families select this method and the way to care for their loved one’s remains. As the popularity continues to grow, more and more families are beginning to realize that cremation can allow them to plan a more cost effective and meaningful service for their loved one. In addition to this, it is also a more environmentally friendly and timely option.

 

Below are the 4 most common reasons, families choose cremation over other methods of disposition.

 

Money is one of the biggest deciding factors when it comes to choosing between burial or cremation. In most cases, cremation is about a third of the price of a traditional burial.

 

Simplicity is another major benefit that cremation offers. The body is transported to the crematory and the remains are usually cared for shortly after the paperwork is complete. Rather than stress over planning burial arrangements, families can plan and execute a cremation service much faster.

 

Unlike a traditional burial that has a loved one remains, casket, and casket vault buried in the Earth, a cremation does very little harm to the environment. While some people choose to bury or spread the ashes, the environmental impact is far less than a burial service.

 

Most families want to plan a meaningful memorial service to celebrate the life of their loved one. With a traditional funeral, there is a rush to quickly plan the memorial service before the deceased is buried. A cremation allows families the opportunity for more time to a plan a more personalized and meaningful memorial service at a time that is convenient for everyone.
