Cremation services have become a popular choice in America, surpassing burial as the most chosen funeral arrangement. Even so, many families don’t understand what the cremation process involves or why it’s a viable option for them. While such matters are also a personal choice, there are many reasons why more people are opting for cremation.

Why You Should Consider Cremation

1. It’s Economical

Cremation is often a more affordable and economical alternative to traditional burial services. The reason why is because you and your loved ones don’t have to pay for a casket or burial plot. If burial is important to you, urns containing your ashes can also be buried in a plot or placed in a columbarium or mausoleum where visitors can pay their respects. 

2. It Makes Funeral Services More Flexible

Cremation allows you more flexibility in holding a memorial or funeral service at a time that is convenient for more people, giving loved ones from out of town more time to be in attendance. 

3. It’s Environmentally Friendly

The world’s population grows every day, requiring more space for burial plots that can’t be reused over time. Cremation services, even when burial is selected, require less land. Families can also opt to bury multiple urns in one plot, saving space. There are also creative alternatives to burial plots that are environmentally friendly, such as burying ashes with a tree.
