Top Reasons Why Many People Choose Cremation

Oklahoma City Cremation • January 20, 2020

Have you ever stopped to consider whether you want to be cremated or buried someday? It doesn’t seem like that long ago when cremation was viewed as a lesser body disposition than traditional earth burial. But those days are gone. Ask any Yukon, OR direct cremation provider, and they will tell you that more and more people are choosing cremation.

Here’s a look at some of the top reasons why many people these days are going with cremation rather than earth burial.

Cultural Acceptance

One of the key reasons why many people are planning cremations for deceased loved ones and preplanning cremations for themselves is that there is more cultural acceptance for the practice. The crematory and funeral home industry has done a good job of educating people about cremation as a true alternative to traditional earth burial. What this has done is help to strip away a lot of the taboos and misconceptions that had been attached to the cremation process.

Religious Acceptance

Many religions either prefer cremation over burial or are open to either of these body dispositions. As this has happened, more people have become accepting of cremation. Many people will want to choose a body disposition that is in line with their religious beliefs. So as more religions have accepted cremation, their adherents have followed suit.

Cost

If your final services decision is based largely on cost, then you’ll want to seriously consider direct cremation. It is, by far, the most cost-effective body disposition that you can arrange.

Easier to Preplan

It’s much easier to preplan a cremation than it is to preplan a funeral complete with a burial. If you don’t like to complicate things, then preplanning a cremation is a good idea. In fact, some crematoriums will actually allow you to preplan online. This will make things even easier since you won’t have to go to the crematorium to make arrangements.

Options Post-Final Services

A lot of people are gravitating towards cremation because of the post-cremation options. After your family gets your cremated remains in an urn, they can do lots of things. They can keep the urn at home to honor your memory, scatter your ashes someplace special, bury the urn, create jewelry out of the ashes, and a whole lot more. The sky’s the limit, and the aforementioned suggestions represent the tip of the proverbial iceberg. You might want to let your loved ones know what you’d like them to do with your ashes. That will take a load off their shoulders since they won’t have to wrack their brains wondering what you would have wanted.

When you choose cremation, you place an immense amount of trust in the provider you select. But have you ever stopped to ask a crucial question: "Who is actually performing the cremation?"
