What is Cremation, and Why is it Becoming the New Norm?
Cremation is a dignified and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional burial. It's a process that reduces the body to its basic elements, leaving behind a collection of ashes that can be scattered, buried, or kept in an urn. But cremation is more than just a practical choice – it's a way to honor the deceased with a personalized and meaningful farewell.
With the rising costs of traditional funerals and the growing awareness of environmental concerns, cremation is becoming an increasingly popular choice for families and individuals alike. It's a way to break free from the traditional funeral industry norms and create a celebration of life that truly reflects the personality and spirit of the deceased.
