What Is Cremation, and Why Is It Gaining Popularity?
Cremation is a dignified and eco-friendly alternative to traditional burials. It's a process where the body is reduced to its basic elements through high-temperature burning, leaving behind ashes that can be memorialized in various ways. With the rising awareness of environmental concerns and the increasing cost of traditional funerals, cremation has become a preferred choice for many.
In the United States alone, the cremation rate has risen from 34% in 2000 to over 53% in 2020, with projections suggesting it will reach 70% by 2030. This shift is largely driven by the desire for a more affordable, flexible, and environmentally conscious way to say goodbye.
