3 Key Reasons to Choose a Funeral Service With Cremation

July 1, 2021

Do you know that the average cost of a funeral service with traditional burial is between $2,000 and $7,000?

Needless to say, cremation services have been on the rise as the perfect alternative. Whether people are flocking towards a funeral service with cremation due to cots, religious considerations, or even environmentalism, the reasons are many.

So, if you’ve been thinking about setting up a cremation service in your death planning or for a loved one, you’ve come to the right place. Keep on reading for our breakdown of the top three reasons why cremation services can prove superior to a traditional burial.

1. The Beauty of Funeral Service With Cremation: Lower Costs

Generally speaking, you’ll find that cremation will cost less than a traditional funeral. Usually, a traditional funeral will include the casketed interment below the ground of the deceased person. Then, a wake or a visitation, or a ceremony (secular or religious in nature) will follow.

The main thing you need to keep in mind is that cremation isn’t a rejection or an outright alternative to a traditional funeral. Cremation is just one of the many forms of bodily disposition that you can choose from.

Therefore, if you’re interested in holding a visitation or a ceremony with cremation, you can always do so at any point in time. You can have those rituals done before or after the cremation.

2. Getting Flexible Service Options

The main reason behind the rush you see when it comes to the funeral or memorial services that revolve around the body, so it needs to be present, is the decomposition process that begins immediately after death.

Of course, you can get the body professionally embalmed, which can slow decay temporarily. Yet, you’ll still be on the clock and there will be a sense of urgency.

On the other hand, a cremation service will give you all the flexibility and time you need to set up the funeral service or memorial you want.

Once you have the cremated remains (ashes) on hand, there’s no time constraint. That’s why you’ll find it popular for the immediate family to hold a private viewing or witness the beginning of the cremation process, then they’ll conduct a service or a larger memorial later down the line.

This memorial can be held months, even years later after the cremation. You can always choose a memorialization option. Honestly, the sky is the limit when it comes to personalization to cremation services.

3. Being Environmentally-Friendly

If you pride yourself on your sustainability, you’ll want to explore more eco-friendly burial options. While a green burial or a natural burial is considered more sustainable, choosing cremation is still way better for the environment than your traditional funeral, and its use of formaldehyde-based fluids for embalming.

Ready to Pick the Cremation Urn of Your Dreams?

Alright, maybe you don’t get as excited as we do about cremation urns and how beautiful a statue memorial can be.

But, we hope that our little guide on the top three benefits of choosing a funeral service with cremation has shed some light on the process for you.
