When it comes to choosing a burial option, cremation may be the top on your list. After all, it's becoming an increasingly popular option and for good reason. Here are four specific reasons why that is:

1. Religious Acceptance: First off, cremation is becoming more accepted among religious communities. Many churches are encouraging of a cremation religious funeral service for families rather than openly shutting them down as they have done in the past. This way, families are choosing the burial option that they want while still having the traditional religious service commencement for the funeral arrangements. 
2. More Burial Options: Many people are starting to not like the idea of burying their loved ones in one place. After all, what happens if you move? With cremation, you have the option of choosing an urn that can stay in the safety of your home. On top of this, you have the option of spreading the ashes, which allows you to have peace of mind knowing your loved one is set free. You can also separate the ashes. For example, you can spread some and save some in a necklace or small urn. 
3. More Time to Plan: When you want an open casket ceremony or a funeral with the body present, you have to do it right away since the body will quickly decompose and end up smelling too much for a ceremony to actually be decent to put on. When you choose cremation, you have more time to plan the funeral. This is going to allow you to take more time to grieve and then have more time to plan out a funeral you know your loved one would have appreciated. 
4. Affordable: Finally, cremation is much more affordable than other options. You can eliminate the cost of a huge casket and instead pay for the urn. You also don't have to take up a huge piece of land for burial if burial is something you decide to move forward with. This can allow you to spend more on putting together a funeral service for everyone to come and pay their respects. It also allows you to spend more on the decor of the urn or the creation of a jewelry piece to hold the ashes.
