Signs That Cremation is the Right Body Disposition Option

Michael Bernardo • June 7, 2021

Cremations and funerals with burials offer respectable and honorable ways to give your deceased loved one a meaningful final send-off. While neither is really better than the other, that doesn’t mean that you and yours might not have a preference in terms of the body disposition. Cremation is now the leading final service option – and this is true for a variety of reasons. There are definitely times when you will want to hire a funeral home in Fruita, CO to arrange a funeral cremation service. Here’s a look at some signs that you’ll want to plan a cremation.

 

Your Deceased Loved One Had Wanted a Cremation

If your deceased loved one had requested a cremation, then you’ll want to go with that recommendation. This will make things a little easier for you and yours since none of you will have to guess what the deceased would have wanted.

 

You Have a Tight Budget

If you’re going to arrange a final service and are determined to stick to a rather tight budget, you’ll naturally want to seriously consider a cremation. Chances are you will save quite a bit if you go with a cremation over a burial. You can look through the funeral home’s general price list to see for yourself how much the death care services provider charges for their final services.

You Want a Simple Planning Process

While it’s definitely the case that a funeral director can help you plan either a funeral service or a cremation service, you’ll find a cremation to be the easier of the two to plan. The reason for this is that cremation services are by their very nature less complex than funeral services. So if you want to keep things as simple as possible, then you’ll want to arrange a cremation service.

You Want to Lower the Carbon Footprint

Another reason to consider cremation over a funeral is if you’re interested in lowering the carbon footprint. When it comes to cremation, you won’t need to buy a casket, you won’t need a burial plot for the casket, you won’t need to embalm your deceased loved one’s body, and you don’t even have to plan a formal service in a church or elsewhere. So you can keep things simple and lower the carbon footprint.

You Want to Take the Cremated Remains Home with You

If you want to take the cremated remains of your loved one home with you, you’ll naturally want to plan a cremation service. You’ll be able to take the urn containing their ashes home with you. You might want to place the urn in your home, bury it on your property, or even scatter their ashes somewhere on your land.
