What is Cremation, and Why is it Gaining Popularity?
Cremation is a dignified and environmentally conscious way to lay your loved one to rest. It involves the use of high-temperature flames to reduce the body to its basic elements, leaving behind a small amount of ashes that can be kept in an urn, scattered, or buried. With cremation rates surpassing traditional burials in the US, it's clear that people are seeking a more sustainable, flexible, and cost-effective alternative.
But what drives this shift? For many, it's about reducing their carbon footprint and preserving natural resources. Others appreciate the freedom to create a personalized farewell that reflects their loved one's personality and passions. Whatever the reason, cremation offers a unique opportunity to reimagine the way we say goodbye.
