Cremation In Canada.
In Canada today around one third of all deaths are followed by cremation. This is up around fifteen percent in the last fifteen years and, in some parts of Canada, cremation is rising rapidly.
Although not appealing to everyone, cremation should be understood and carried out by your family if it is your preference. Cremation involves burning the human body at a very high temperature, and reducing the bone fragments to ash. Bigger bones are broken down and pulverised. These ashes are then housed in an Urn, either provided by the funeral home or family. This Urn can then be housed at the family home or indeed at a columbarium.
Research shows that nearly thirty percent of the population of Canada choose cremation over burial for financial reasons. Without the need of a grave site and head stone the cost of cremations can be considerably lower than a {traditional~normal] burial. There is also no need for an expensive casket or coffin, again saving you money.
Research also shows that around fourteen percent of people choose to be cremated because it is less stressful, emotional and allot easier than a traditional burial.
Cremations are maybe on the increase due to the fact that the ‘ashes’ can be scattered where the deceased has chosen or even one of their favourite spots making it more personal than a burial. These days with people on the move all the time it may not be convenient to place a loved one in a local cemetery away from family and friends who will be unable to visit. Keeping your loved ones ashes in an Urn will ensure your close by.
Services can still be held when you are cremated and poems and speeches read by close family and friends. Specifically dedicated hymns and songs can be played for a more personal touch.
