What is Cremation, and Why is it Becoming the New Norm?

Cremation is a dignified and eco-friendly alternative to traditional burials. It's a process that reduces the body to its basic elements, leaving behind a small amount of ashes that can be scattered, buried, or kept in an urn. With cremation rates rising steadily, it's clear that people are looking for a more personalized, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious way to say goodbye.
