Burial is the traditional choice of funerals, but recently cremation services are on the rise. In fact, 2018 had a 53.1% cremation rate, and many states reached more than a 70% cremation rate. If you are unsure what to do, here are three reasons to consider cremation.

3 Reasons to Opt for Cremation Services

1. New Tradition

Families usually still have a funeral service for cremations, and you can bury the urn or store it in a crypt. However, the options extend beyond the cemetery, so loved ones can take the ashes home, store them at a church, or go a more eco-friendly route. This method allows your loved ones to keep your memory with them in a tangible form.

2. Environmentally Safe

Biodegradable urns are Cremation Servicespurchasable, and you can release ashes almost anywhere. Cremation services take away the need for a casket and burial plot, and there are many options for scattering or converting the ashes. National parks allow the scattering of ashes, but by permit only, and scattering ashes into the sea is acceptable. There are tree farms grown from the ashes of loved ones, and many websites offer the transformation of remains into diamonds and coral reefs.

3. Continue the Journey

There are many couples, friends, and family who have created bucket lists, and many people are not letting the death of a loved one act as a stopping point for the list. You can take ashes to most countries as long as they are informed of the contents ahead of time. A trip around the world is still a possibility, and scattering ashes along the way is legal in most jurisdictions. If you’re looking for something local, you can also split the ashes with family and friends.  Talk to each of them and see if they would like to share in the remembrance of the person lost.
