| Why Choose Cremation?
The Cremation Association of North America has reported that Cremation
has expanded rapidly worldwide. Since 1973, the number of cremations
in North America has more than tripled. Countries such as Japan
(97%), Great Britain (70%) and Scandinavia (over 65%) continue to
show a high percentage of cremations. It's predicted that by the
year 2010, cremations in the US will be close to 40%.
With cremation, your options are numerous. The cremains can be
interred in a cemetery plot or masoleum. They can be buried in the
ground, or scatter in a sea or lake. They can also be keep at home
in an urn. You can even scatter on private property with the owners
permission. Cremation is just one step in the process. While you
may know what you want to do with your loved ones remains, there
is also the traditional service which can be a beautiful event,
where ever you like. A memorial serves as a tribute to a life lived
and provides a focal point for grieving, as well as a remembrance
for future generations. The type of memorial you choose is a personal
decision. The limit is set only by your imagination.
If you are choosing cremation for yourself, will your family be
comfortable with cremation? Some family members are disturbed at
the thought of death itself, much less cremation, which many be
perceived as a cold and uninvolved process. They may resist your
wishes when the time comes. Address it with your family now. You
can put their concerns to rest, and have peace of mind knowing your
wishes will be carried out.
