Cremation is fast becoming
the preferred choice of many families in America today. There are several
reasons for this including environmental concerns, religious beliefs and
of course the costs. Cremations are generally far less expensive than traditional
funeral burial services. The
costs of a cremation can vary much in the US depending on which State you live
in and what type of memorial service, if any, is required. The actual cremation
usually takes place after there has been a funeral service and the cremated ashes
are then given to family in an Urn. The type of container or Urn can make
a huge difference to the costs. Direct
cremations, in which there is no service included, is by far the least expensive
option. The cremated ashes can be kept in an Urn, keepsake or scattered
in a favorite place of the deceased. The ashes can also be buried or entombed
at a local cemetery where other familiy members are. Cremations
in the US accounted for over 28% of all funerals in 2004. Alabama
