Ammen Family Cremation and Funeral Care

What is Cremation, and Why is it Gaining Popularity?

Cremation is a dignified and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial. The process involves reducing the body to its basic elements, leaving behind a small amount of ashes, which can be scattered, buried, or kept in an urn. With cremation, you have the flexibility to plan a personalized memorial service, celebration of life, or scattering ceremony that reflects your loved one's personality and passions.

As the world becomes more eco-conscious and people seek more affordable funeral options, cremation is increasingly becoming the preferred choice. According to the National Funeral Directors Association, cremation rates are expected to reach 78.4% by 2035.
