Cremation is when a non living body is reduced to ashes by
burning in a crematory fire or crematorium furnace. The
remains of the fire are often placed in urns where they are
then buried, held at memorial sites, kept by loved ones, or
sometimes hold wishes by the person that has passed on. A
common wish is to be spread out over the Oceans or
something similar. Being cremated is a very common act
with other popular methods such as casket funerals.
Ancient evidence has placed cremation back to at least
26,000 years ago. It is likely common that the practice
took place prior to this point in time but evidence would
have likely been destroyed or lost. Throughout history
different cultures have both embraced and prohibited the
use of cremation.
Different religions and cultures often depict what one is
able to request done with their remains. Depending on how
strict someone follows their religion will set forth if the
remains must be buried, kept, or spread at will. A common
example of this is Roman Catholicism requires a follower to
bury or entomb the remains which generally would require an
urn to properly follow. Other religions and cultures have
far more complex rules to follow so this should be an
important step in your research based on your faith.
Economically speaking, cremation can also be far less
expensive to be preformed that a traditional casket burial.
Although it is commonly not the important topic at a
funeral, the cost burden on those paying for it can be
unaffordable at times. If a body is cremated without a
coffin and the not buried it can save thousands of dollars
if it was done otherwise. Urns to place the remains in can
even be found right here on the internet at a great
discount from prices held within funeral homes.
There is also many other reasons people choose cremation
over a traditional burial. The ability to become
incinerated and become one with the earth is commonly more
appealing than decomposing slowly within a small casket.
Environmentally speaking cremation is also better for the
earth in many ways. The embalming fluids, caskets, and
other means used in traditional burials contaminate the
ground water and the ground itself. Pollution aside,
common burials require a large amount of space which is
becoming more scarce and expensive in largely populated
areas. These are all things to consider when choosing a
proper funeral.
