Why Cremation
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING CREMATION?
Every day, more people are finding that cremation is an option that just makes sense.
A traditional funeral often costs more than $10,000, burdening you with the additional costs of a casket, a cemetery plot, a vault, and a headstone.
Choosing cremation gives you more flexibility for memorial services. There is no immediate rush to have everyone gather. This allows you to schedule a service at a time and place that is convenient for everyone who will be attending.
Choosing cremation is a smart environmental choice. It requires no harmful chemicals or plastics such as those used in the embalming process. Cremation is also less wasteful since no casket or space in the ground is required. And unlike a burial, cremation does not require constant grounds maintenance.
Cremation provides many more final options. Ashes can be buried, placed in a niche, scattered in one or multiple locations, kept at home, divided among children, or even made into jewelry.
