Cremation And The Fanning Flames

Cremation:

With every death, there is one major choice that has to be made; what to do with the remains. And as much as the industry talks about and tries to support various methods, for most of the population the choice comes down to burial or cremation. This is a choice that’s becoming increasingly difficult to make. One thing is for certain: cremation isn’t going to decrease in popularity anytime soon. Just look at David Nixon’s annual cremation survey and the rising cremation rates it reveals, to Lindsay Eagan’s survey which shows that Generation Y prefers cremation by a wide margin.

So cremation isn’t going anywhere but up. One day down the road, traditional burial may be looked at as a passe’ thing to do and cremation will be regularly accepted norm. Of course 502 years from now, science may have advanced to the point where a deceased body can be instantly vaporized by a blast from the mortician’s handy Cremate Gun 3000, which will cost the client 400,000 North American Union Credits, but I digress.

Here in the near future, plain old cremation is primed to at least pull even with burial. Funeral directors will have to get a better handle on cremation services and pricing in order to stay ahead of the game. Have you adjusted our cremation prices, according to demand in the past several years? If not the time is way past due to do so. If you see that the cremation rate in your area is booming over the next few years, should you open your own crematory? So like a grieving family has to make a choice between burial and cremation, you also have to make a choice on how to maximize your cremation services. At least until they invent that vaporizing gun.
