When a loved one leaves us, one is already suffering a tremendous loss. Many times additional financial stress is added to those who are left behind. Unfortunately, cremation costs must be considered when making final arrangements. Cremation costs much less than a traditional burial. The average funeral and cemetery arrangements cost more than $10,000.00. Cremations costs are at least ¼ of the traditional burial fees. Not only are more Americans choosing to have their loved ones cremated because cremation costs are much lower than any other type of funeral arrangements, but cremation expands families’ opportunities to carry out a final wish.

Cremation costs are much lower than other funeral services for many reasons. Embalming and preparation of human remains is not required, a casket is optional but does not have to be purchased, and cemetery fees may not be incurred. If you do decide to have your loved one’s cremated remains buried or placed in a niche, the cemetery fees are much more affordable. People commonly have a formal funeral ceremony including a viewing / visitation with cremation to follow. This is the most expensive type of cremation service but it is still much less expensive than a traditional burial because you are able to avoid merchandise and cemetery costs. Cremation costs can be kept much lower by having a memorial gathering with or without the cremated remains present at a residence, garden or church. This type of memorial gathering eliminates the cost of renting or purchasing a cremation casket as well as the funeral home. You may decide to have a direct cremation. Cremation costs for this type of service are the least and provide the most savings. A direct cremation is the incineration of human remains without any form of memorial gathering or service.

Because cremation costs are so much more affordable than other services; families are able to focus on creating a permanent memorial to honor their loved one.
