Why Direct Cremation is Becoming Popular

 

There are many reasons why a direct cremation is so attractive to family members of the deceased. The main reason is that direct cremation is affordable. A burial with a ceremony in the U.S. can cost up to $10,000 and a cremation with a memorial service can also be expensive, although it’s around four to five thousand cheaper than the tradition memorial service. Taking this into consideration, a direct cremation only costs around two thousand, but if you shop around, you can find services that charge you as little as six hundred dollars. Do the math and it’s no wonder direct cremation is on the rise.  

Finding a Cremation Service 

When a loved one dies, the last thing a family needs while grieving is taking care of all the funeral needs. If the family wants a ceremony and chooses a traditional funeral, they have to spend time visiting and choosing a funeral home, deciding on a casket or urn, discussing all the options with a licensed funeral director, as well as making all the myriad arrangements. All of this and more can take a toll on the family. With direct cremation, you only have to do two things. One, you need to find a cremation company that has an on-site crematory because this means the cremation will take place under one roof, at the cremation company. The reason an on-site is so important is because some companies outsource the cremation, and therefore there are no licensed funeral directors to oversee the entire process and who are in control of every stage of the cremation. This means that they work in an ethical manner.    

The second reason is that, once you find an on-site crematory service, all you need to do is make a phone call to make all the arrangements. Direct cremation’s simplicity is so straightforward that you can make all the decisions in one sitting—literally. You can do this from anywhere. You can call from the comforts of your home or even if you are traveling in a foreign country. The call can last up to fifteen minutes and not much longer. Direct cremation frees up your time. Rather than spending time filling out forms and choosing caskets, you have more moments to grieve.
