Cremation becomes more popular with each passing year and is quickly surpassing burial as the top choice for funeral planners. If you are like much of the population and are considering cremation for yourself or a loved one, a few insights will help you make an informed and budget-conscious choice. To simplify the decision, the compassionate directors at E.C. Nurre Funeral Homes in Amelia, OH, offer the following information.

cremationThough cultural and personal desires may be partly responsible for cremation’s popularity, the factor that most influences funeral planning is cost. Cremation, on average, costs less than a third of the typical burial. Unfortunately, some funeral homes still may not be upfront with their customers when planning a cremation. To make the most of your budget and simplify the grieving process, learn about your options before talking to a funeral director.

One of the largest costs involved in a cremation is the urn, or the container that holds the ashes. Families may place the urn somewhere on display or use it as a temporary container until the ashes are ceremoniously spread in a meaningful location. If you don’t wish to spend hundreds on an urn, remember—you don’t have to buy the first option presented to you. In many cases, you are welcome to shop around for an urn and bring it with you to the funeral home completing the cremation. You can also ask your funeral director which of their containers is the most affordable.

Whether you are looking for a high-end or affordable cremation service, the staff at E.C. Nurre Funeral Homes is dedicated to planning you or your loved one a dignified celebration of life. They are known throughout the area for providing compassionate, transparent service with your best interests in mind.
