Death is a very emotional topic for many people because it is the loss of a loved one. To honor the deceased, there are various ceremonies the family can choose to have. However, a traditional funeral or cremation are two of the most popular services to choose from. Below is a closer look at Cremation Arrangements in Monroe MI and the different reasons families choose it over a traditional burial.
Financial Obligation
A traditional burial costs thousands of dollars that the average person may not have. Cremation Arrangements in Monroe MI are considerably less and family and friends can still have a ceremony to celebrate the life of the deceased. The ashes are then placed in an urn of the family’s choosing so that it can be taken with them.
Sentimental Reasons
Sometimes family members are hesitant to bury a loved one because of the off chance that they decide to move to a different state or city. Because of this, they choose to have their loved one cremated so that they can take their ashes with them everywhere they go. Other times, they may decide to scatter their ashes in a location that held special meaning for that person.
Space Availability At Cemeteries
Cemeteries tend to fill up very fast as space is becoming more of an issue. If the deceased had a specific burial site next to another departed loved one, then burying the urn near them is much easier than burying another casket, especially if the plot is already taken.
Donation Of The Body To Science
Many people wish to have their body donated to science to further improve medical research. Others choose to donate their organs to help others in need. Afterwards, the body is cremated and the ashes are given back to the family, at no cost to them.
