Top Reasons to Arrange a Cremation Service 

Admin • June 21, 2021

Have you ever stopped to consider why cremations are so popular these days? Cremation is now the leading body disposition option. And one reason – the primary reason – more and more families are choosing cremations over burials is that cremations are cheaper than burials. You’ll want to keep this in mind if you’re thinking about planning the right cremation service in Glenwood Springs, CO. With that said, here’s a look at the primary reasons why people plan cremations.

The Cost is Right 

As was mentioned above, a key reason why cremations are now more common than burials is the cost. If you want to plan a final service on a tight budget, you’ll naturally want to consider a cremation. A simple cremation won’t require a funeral service in a church, body preparations like embalming, or other things like visitations and viewings. So you’ll be able to save a lot of money. You don’t have to spend a whole lot of money to arrange a final service that both honors the deceased and encourages the living. A funeral director will be able to help you plan.

Uncomplicated 

A cremation tends to be easier to plan than a funeral service with a casket burial at a cemetery. After losing a loved one, the last thing you and yours will want is to tackle a difficult process. Planning a cremation will be relatively simple, and it won’t take nearly as long as you might think.

Mobility 

Yet another reason why cremation is so common is the transportability aspect. In other words, you will be able to transport the cremated remains in a way you won’t be able to transport a body in a casket. You’ll be able to take the cremation urn with you should you relocate later on.

Versatility 

Cremation also provides even more versatility than does a funeral service that is followed by a casket burial. You will certainly have a great deal of alternatives after the cremation. You can spread the ashes on your own property, you can place the urn somewhere inside your home or even outside your home, you can keep the urn in a columbarium, or you can do something else.

No Needless Delay 

An additional reason why cremation is an option that appeals to many families is that it can be conducted soon after their loved one’s passing. If your family believes that the body disposition should be done soon after the death, then cremation is a suitable option.
