If you’re trying to decide between burial and cremation, here is some information to consider:

• Cremation: Cremation is a popular choice for many reasons, whether financial, ecological, or religious. You can still design the memorial service you'd like, either before the cremation with a casket or after the cremation with an urn. Beecher & Bennett will help you develop the service best suited to your needs.
• Burial: Interring a body in the ground has been a popular choice since ancient times. You can choose from a funeral service, a graveside service, or no service at all. The funeral service, if desired, it will be held at Beecher & Bennett or at a religious institution. There is typically a bit more cost involved in burial as opposed to cremation, and different religious beliefs have different rituals and laws when it comes to placing a body in the ground.
• Which One To Choose: Take into consideration two main factors: your personal tastes and your budget. One option is more affordable while the other is more traditional. Which option fits your vision? The choice is yours.
