More people are choosing cremation today to save money on a funeral. According to the National Funeral Directors Association, a funeral service can traditionally cost around $7,484, not including a cemetery plot.
A cremation can work out significantly cheaper. In fact, a simple direct cremation is just about the least expensive disposition you can arrange. It offers a simple and efficient means to arrange a disposition at minimum cost.
Why choose a direct cremation service?
Direct cremation is a dignified yet affordable alternative to keep funeral expenses down. The funeral home handles everything to care for the deceased and conduct the cremation.
After a direct cremation, you can choose to have the ashes returned for a memorial service or scattered. Many families find arranging a direct cremation an easy way to keep funeral costs down. It can also allow you to have a little more control over when and where to conduct any memorial tribute.

I have been researching and writing about the death care industry for the last fifteen years. End of life services and experiences are something most of us choose not to reflect upon until we are suddenly faced with dealing with it. I have been contributing comprehensive and independent resources for families that explain how the funeral industry operates, and the laws that govern funeral practices. Sara writes for US Funerals Online and DFS Memorials LLC, as well as contributing to other forums and publications for the death care industry. I have a BA in Cultural Studies. This helps my analysis of cultural death care rituals, alongside a career background in Business Management. The death care industry is undergoing an epoch of change and this fascinates me.
