Losing a loved one is an emotional and stressful ordeal, especially if little to no instructions were left on how to lay them to rest. While many people are familiar with traditional burial services, cremation may be a worthwhile option. Below are some of the reasons why you may consider cremation for your loved one.

3 Benefits of Cremation Services

1. Environmentally Friendly

One reason why some people prefer cremation is environmental concerns. In preparation for a traditional burial, chemicals are used to embalm or preserve the decedent, and which raises concerns that the chemicals leech into the land and become a contaminant. Burials also require soil to be disturbed. Cremations, however, do not require harsh chemicals, and crematorium equipment is consistently improved to reduce emissions and pollution.

2. Flexibility

cremationWith cremation, you have options for choosing the final resting place of your loved one. For instance, you can place their remains in a beautiful decorative urn and leave it inside your home or in the house of a friend or relative. You can also bury the urn or place it in a crypt.

A popular option is to scatter the remains of the deceased in a location that was special to them. These days, you can even use some of their ashes to create memorial jewelry that you can wear so that you’ll always have your loved one near. 

3. Convenient

Funeral services can be complicated, which can be an emotional and financial stressor to the person making the arrangements. They have to coordinate with the funeral home, cemetery, plan a visitation, and more. Instead of organizing a long ceremony that includes burial at a local cemetery, relatives and friends of the deceased can prepare a simple cremation with a memorial service at a later time.
