What is Cremation, and Why is it Becoming the New Norm?
Cremation is a process of transforming a deceased person's body into a compact, bone-fragment remains through high-temperature burning. This ancient practice has seen a significant surge in popularity over the past few decades, and for good reason. Not only is cremation a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional burials, but it also offers flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and a range of creative ways to memorialize your loved one.
With cremation, you can choose to scatter the ashes in a special location, bury them in a cemetery, or even transform them into a beautiful piece of jewelry or art. The possibilities are endless, and we're here to guide you through every step of the process.
