What is Cremation, and Why is it Gaining Popularity?
Cremation is a dignified and eco-friendly alternative to traditional burial. 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're not only saving money but also reducing your carbon footprint.
In recent years, cremation has become the preferred choice for many families. According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the cremation rate in the United States is expected to reach 78.4% by 2035. This shift is driven by factors such as environmental concerns, cost savings, and the desire for a more personalized farewell.
