Does the disposition of cremation cost less than burial?
Cremation disposition can cost less. When the disposition of cremation is chosen, most families have their loved one prepared for a traditional afternoon period of visitation at the funeral home followed by the funeral service and or Mass; normally the next day. Instead of leaving the place of service in a procession to the place of burial; the family oftentimes gathers for a meal and additional time of reflecting. After the cremation has been completed, most families gather at a convenient time, for the burial of the cremated remains. The burial of the Urn allows for permanent marking of a grave just as the permanent marking of a traditional burial site. This type of service allows families to retain traditional service values while accomplishing the desired disposition of cremation.
