When it comes to planning a service for a lost loved one, there are many choices to be made. One of the first decisions you'll make is whether to choose cremation or a traditional burial. Arndt Funeral Home, offering cremation and funeral services to the Rochester, NY, community, explains the benefits of choosing cremation.

When you choose cremation, you can still host a memorial service after the cremation has taken place or have a traditional funeral service before the cremation takes place. Adhering to funerary traditions gives family members and friends the chance to gather and offer each other comfort and closure as they remember the life of the loved one who passed. In addition, cremation allows families to plan the memorial service at a time that is convenient for them. Arndt Funeral Home can host memorial services in its beautiful chapel, where the family members can share their precious memories with photos and stories and play music to personalize the service.

Cremation has other benefits as well. It is less expensive than a traditional burial since it eliminates the added cost of the casket, gravesite, headstone, and cemetery fee. Cremation is considered more environmentally-friendly than a traditional burial because it has less of an impact on the land.

Due to the increased demand for cremation services, there are countless options when it comes to the style of urn you can choose. Arndt Funeral Home carries beautiful urns in various shapes, sizes, and materials. Urns are portable, so if you and your family move, you can take the urn with you.
