Burial Or Cremation In Canada
Nowadays in Canada around one third of all deaths are followed by cremation. This is an increase of around 15% in the last 15 years and, in some parts of Canada, cremation is rising rapidly.
Although not to everyones taste, cremation should be understood and carried out by your family if it is your preference. Cremation consists of burning the human body at a very high temperature, and reducing the bone fragments to ash. Larger bones are broken down and pulverised. These ashes are then kept in an Urn, either provided by the funeral home or family. This Urn can then be kept at the family home or indeed at a columbarium.
Research shows that nearly thirty percent of the population of Canada opt for cremation over burial for financial reasons. Without the need of a grave site and head stone the cost of cremations can be remarkably lower than a {traditional~normal] burial. There is also no need for an expensive coffin or casket, again saving you money.
Research also shows that approximately fourteen percent of people choose to be cremated because it is less stressful, emotional and allot easier than a normal 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 places 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 friends and family 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 friends and family. Specifically dedicated hymns and songs can be played for a more personal touch.
