The truth is that cremation is now every bit as common as burial in the United States. And for the record, cremation has been around for ages as a global phenomenon. Put simply, there really isn’t anything weird about it. Yes, it is different from burial, and the two options really do differ in important ways. But that shouldn’t mean you give up on cremation just yet. Before ruling it out, most families should at least take a little bit of time to think about what they want and why. Take your time whenever possible.
Remember that cremation is generally less expensive than burial. That may or may not matter to you and your family. Budget may or may not be much of a consideration. But to whatever extent saving some serious money might be important, giving cremation a chance makes some sense. Cremation also opens the door to creative and interesting options regarding the remains themselves. They can be displayed, scattered, or even used to create jewelry or artwork. That is certainly a stark contrast with burial.
Of course, there are real benefits to cremation and burial both. The important thing is that you give each option a chance and make an educated decision.
