These days it seems that simple cremations are becoming a popular choice when deciding what to do with our body when we die. But why choose a simple cremation over having a traditional funeral?

Cheaper
– Simple cremations are significantly cheaper than traditional funerals
– Eliminates the cost of expensive items like a casket, embalming, and chapel/church fees
– No need to buy a full sized grave plot

Easier
– Simple cremation arrangements can be completed in as little as a couple days, whereas traditional funeral arrangements take longer due to more decision making
– Arrangements can be done with a licensed funeral director over email, which helps anyone who is elderly, disabled or who those who don’t live locally

More Options
– Once cremation is complete, families can choose what to do with the cremated remains (ashes)
– Cremated remains can be scattered, placed in a cemetery, kept at home, or shipped internationally

Although cremation isn’t everyone’s wish, it can be a dignified and convenient option for those who do choose this method of disposition when they die.
