Why choose direct cremation
At least once in our lives someone within our family passes away. It is not easy and in these times you need all the help you can get. Maybe the decisions for the funeral fall on your lap and the loved one did not choose a way to be buried.
Funerals can be very expensive, and time consuming, you are limited by a time frame, in which you have to get everything done. On the other hand, direct cremation does not limit you in any way. That is why in this article we will talk about some of the advantages that this process has over a traditional funeral.
Why choose cremation over traditional funerals?
Cremation is the most popular form of funeral in the UK, as the costs are substantially more affordable than the traditional funeral. In the next few paragraphs we laid down some advantages that the cremation process has to offer.
Cost: This process is typically more affordable than a traditional funeral because it does not include the cost of a funeral service, viewing, or burial.
Simplicity: This process can be a simple and straightforward process, which is comforting if you want to keep things minimal.
Flexibility: There is more flexibility in terms of when and where it will take place, as well as what happens to the ashes afterward. If scattering the ashes is the best choice for you and your family, you can pick a place that holds a lot of memories, a place they felt their happiest.
Environmental benefits: Cremation is generally considered to be a more environmentally friendly option than burial, as it uses less resources that can be harmful to our planet. Burial often uses harsh chemicals to embalm the remains for a funeral service.
Personalization: With a direct cremation, you have the opportunity to create your own meaningful memorial or celebration of life event at a later time and place of your choosing. This can be a more personal and meaningful way to honor your loved ones life.
