Choosing a body disposition method for a lost loved one is never easy, but choosing cremation services offers many benefits from reduced cost to easy planning.

• Planning Ease - Cremation offers a lot more flexibility in terms of planning than traditional burials. You can hold a memorial at the time of cremation, even sometimes at the crematorium itself. Or you can hold a service after cremation. This flexibility makes it easier for your family to plan around tough schedules and traveling. Cremation also allows for more flexibility when it comes to memorial or service locations as ashes are easily transported. You will not be held to having the funeral at a home, but will be able to choose a more convenient or special location. 

• Cost - Cremation has proven time and time again to be a much cheaper option than burial. Cremation gets rid of costs such as embalming, viewing, caskets and more. Burials and traditional funerals can cost a lot, while the cremation itself and common accessories like urns are notably less expensive. A cremation is no less dignified or meaningful than a burial, and is also a much better choice in terms of cost. 

• Combining Tradition and Convenience - You can still have traditional parts of a funeral with cremation, but they will be improved. For example, you can still bury your loved one’s ash after cremation, but burying an urn costs much less than burying a casket. Cremation offers flexibility to pick and choose exactly what traditions you want to follow. 

• Personalization - Cremation allows ultimate freedom of expression when it comes to memorial services or funerals. You can scatter a loved one’s ashes in a special place, or inter him or her in the ground near long gone family members. The possibilities are almost endless, so you can celebrate life in special and memorable ways that are personalized to you. 

• Environmental Impact - As our population grows, space is an ever-important commodity. Cremation offers you a chance to be buried at a smaller site, or not be buried at all. This allows for land to be freed up for building homes or growing food. Modern cremation advances also allow you to release less fumes and gases, making cremation a green choice.
