More and more people are choosing cremation as a way to dispose of their final remains. While there is a multitude of reasons why people make this final choice, some reasons weigh heavier than others with the general population. Here are just some of the reasons why people are choosing Cremation in Bel Air over traditional burials.

•Cremations are, by far, cheaper than a traditional burial. The average cost of cremation is about $2000, and a nice urn can be bought for as little as $100. Compare this with a casket that will cost a bare minimum of $1500, a cemetery plot that can set you back at least $1000, and a headstone that comes in at about $700 minimum, and it is easy to see how cremation can definitely save money. Of course, if one desires, they can definitely spend money on extravagant funerals, which is perfectly fine. The point is, the consumer has more flexibility with their final arrangements when cremation is considered.

Cremation in Bel Air is much more adherent to a “green” lifestyle than burial is. Far less land is used when cremains are buried in urns. In fact, families today are even buying one plot and burying multiple urns in an effort to save the land. Of course, some even choose to have their cremains scattered over a favorite place, which takes up no land at all. Also, when burials are performed, the body has been filled with toxic chemicals that may leach into the ground eventually. These chemicals are not used when cremation takes place at Evans Funeral Chapel and Cremation Services.

•Often, the thought of being buried and the body decomposing over time may seem frightful to someone. For this reason, there are some who choose to go the route of cremation. Others may just want a simple affair that is not ceremonial in nature. They just want to “be done with it.”
