What is Cremation, and Why is it Becoming Increasingly Popular?
Cremation is a funeral option that involves the burning of the deceased's body at high temperatures, reducing it to its basic elements. The resulting ashes, also known as cremated remains, can then be buried, scattered, or kept in an urn. In recent years, cremation has become a popular choice for many families, and it's easy to see why.
Not only is cremation a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional burial, but it also offers a range of creative and personalized ways to celebrate a loved one's life. From scattering ashes in a special location to creating a memorial garden, the possibilities are endless.
