What is cremation?

Cremation is a process of reducing the body to ashes through intense heat. It is an alternative to traditional burial and is often chosen because it is less expensive and provides more flexibility in terms of memorialization and disposal of the ashes. The process typically takes 2-3 hours, after which the ashes are returned to the family. Some families choose to scatter the ashes in a special location, while others may choose to keep the ashes in an urn.
