Here we go again. Everyone is saying: “Just cremate me and sprinkle me in the back yard.” Lack of ignorance and fear creates that phrase.

You know the reason why cremation is getting more and more popular? Because people aren’t pre planning for their death. So when the surviving family members are making arrangements with the funeral director and they hear the price for burial, they freak! No money was put away or nothing was paid in advance, so why should the survivors have to spend a lot of money cleaning up their family member’s mess?

They Shouldn’t so they do it out of anger.

Why, did you know that cremation rates are up nearly 50% nationwide? 50/50 cremation, burial rate. Other reasons? Lack of education, and fear of being buried below ground. Like you’ll know for God’s sake.

Like a funeral director told me not too long ago: “When you’re dead you’re dead, and you’re not coming back.

Think about it before you make the plunge to cremation. Surviving family members want some closure and want to celebrate a life that’s been lived.
