The question ‘why choose cremation?’ is frequently asked when losing a loved one. It is clear that people have their own unique reasons for choosing our cremation services but there are some distinct benefits of cremation vs burial. There are a significant amount of people that remain unsure when thinking about the benefits and therefore, to help people with their decision we have created a list of the different benefits of choosing cremation. 

Cremation allows for more untraditional, personalized ceremonies. It allows you to hold a ceremony outside of a church or cemetery which may be an opportunity for a memorial service, celebration of life, or an ash scattering ceremony. These generally are held weeks or even months after the loss of your loved one and therefore, offer more time for personalization and healing. The flexibility in timing and to add personalization is another benefit of choosing cremation. 

Casketed and embalmed remains take up cemetery space and can result in water pollution. Cremation eliminates this pollution through placing the deceased into an urn where it will not affect the earth. This is considered to be the most significant benefits of cremation vs burial.
