Cremation
Cremations are a popular option.
In fact, the National Funeral Directors Association estimates the cremation rate rose to 56% of all deaths in 2020. The increase in cremations has been growing each year for over a decade and is expected to continue that same trend in years to come.
Why are cremations rising in popularity?
Most families view the cremation process as a simple and cost-effective option that allows the flexibility to customize the service options to honor the deceased in a memorable way.
Some other reasons people choose cremations are reduced environmental footprint, cemetery space or availability, and the importance of always being near loved ones. You can even plan and coordinate a funeral or memorial service weeks later once cremation is chosen as an option.
Did you know that viewing, memorial, and funeral services are available even when choosing cremation as an option?
