Why Cremation
Why choose cremation?
People are opting for cremation in record numbers and rejecting the idea that they
should go ahead with a traditional burial simply because "that's the way it's always
been done." Your last wishes should be a true reflection of the individual you are in
life.
From a pragmatic standpoint, many people find that cremation just makes sense.
Cremation is the conscientious choice.
Choosing cremation means you are choosing to give back to the earth. It requires no
harmful chemicals or plastics like those used in the embalming process. Cremation
is also less wasteful: no casket or space in the ground is required. And unlike a
burial, cremation does not require perpetual grounds maintenance.
A traditional funeral can cost upwards of $10,000.00, obligating you and your family
to the additional costs of a casket, a cemetery plot, a vault, and a headstone.
Cremation is a mere fraction of the expense of a traditional funeral.
Cremations give you an option.
You have the freedom to be memorialized in a number of ways: ashes can be buried,
put into a niche, scattered in one or multiple places, sent into space, kept at home,
divided among children, or even made into jewelry. If you already own a plot or niche
in a cemetery, you may choose to have any company perform the cremation prior to
the remains being interred in a cemetery.

Cremation is the process of reducing dead bodies to basic chemical compounds in the form of gases and bone fragments. This is
accomplished through high temperatures and vaporization.[1] Contrary to popular belief, the cremated remains are not ashes in the usual
sense, but rather dried bone fragments that have been pulverized, typically in a device called an electric cremated remains processor (known
as a cremulator -see below- or pulverization may be done by hand). This leaves the bone in a fine sand like texture and color, able to be
scattered without need for mixing with any foreign matter.[2] Their weight is approximately 4 pounds (1.8 kg) for adult human females and 6
pounds (2.7 kg) for adult human males.
Cremation may serve as a funeral or postfuneral rite that is an alternative to the interment of an intact body in a casket. Cremated remains,
which are not a health risk, may be buried or immured in memorial sites or cemeteries, or they may be legally retained by relatives or
dispersed in a variety of ways and locations.
