What Is Cremation, and Why Is It Becoming So Popular?
Cremation is a dignified and environmentally friendly way to bid farewell to your loved one. It's a process that reduces 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, you can choose from a range of memorialization options, from traditional burials to more modern, eco-friendly alternatives.
In recent years, cremation has gained popularity due to its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits. It's a choice that resonates with many who value simplicity, sustainability, and personalization.
