Cremation services offer several benefits that burial does not. In years past, burial was the traditional method that families used to care for their loved ones' remains. Despite the higher cost and lack of flexibility, burial was how generations of families cared for their loved ones.
In recent years though, the rate of cremation has grown drastically. Families are now choosing to forego tradition and instead selecting the method that best suits their needs. In many ways, cremation represents the new era of funeral service and offers several benefits over traditional burial services .

For hundreds of years, burial services have been the norm. However, while there is a certain level of tradition in regard to burial services, today's families are choosing to forego that tradition and select the option that best meets their needs.
Cost is often one of the most cited reasons why people choose cremation. On average, a cremation service can cost up to 50% less than a traditional burial service. Because there is no need to purchase additional items like a burial casket, headstone, or vault, your family can stay within your budget and use the savings to help surviving family members or plan a more meaningful celebration of life or memorial service.
For many people, the level of simplicity involved with cremation services is one of the reasons why cremation is better. Generally, when a family buries a loved one, they also hold a funeral service. However, this can complicate the arrangement process because coordinating with the cemetery and planning for the services must happen before the remains can be cared for. A celebration of life or memorial service is typically planned after cremation. This gives your family more time to grieve and mourn in the immediate days following death instead of rushing to make funeral arrangements.
One of the most overlooked benefits of cremation is flexibility. As mentioned, a celebration of life or memorial service is often held after cremation. Because the remains have already been cared for, your family has the benefit of flexibility when making service arrangements. It is quite common for families to plan these services weeks or even months after the death has occurred. This allows you to design a more meaningful ceremony and accommodate schedule and travel to ensure loved ones from far away can be in attendance.
More and more people are starting to see the benefits of cremation services. Not only does cremation provide you with things like flexibility, convenience, and personalization when it comes to planning; it is often a more affordable option.
