What is Cremation, and Why is it Becoming the New Norm?

Cremation is a dignified and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial. The process involves reducing a body to its basic elements through high-temperature burning, resulting in a few pounds of ashes that can be scattered, buried, or kept in an urn. With cremation rates surpassing traditional burial in the US, it's clear that people are seeking a more sustainable, flexible, and affordable way to say goodbye.

Davies Cremation is at the forefront of this movement, offering a range of cremation services that cater to your unique needs and preferences. From direct cremation to memorial services, we provide a personalized approach that honors your loved one while minimizing the environmental impact.

The Benefits of Cremation: Why It's the Perfect Choice for Modern Families

• Environmental Sustainability: Cremation reduces the carbon footprint associated with traditional burial, using fewer resources and minimizing land use.
• Cost-Effective: Cremation can be up to 50% less expensive than traditional burial, allowing you to allocate funds to more meaningful aspects of the farewell.
• Flexibility: Cremation provides the freedom to hold a memorial service at a later date, allowing you to grieve and celebrate in your own time.
