Mangano Family Funeral Homes • June 14, 2021

Are you thinking about planning a cremation service for a deceased loved one? Many families go this route after losing loved ones. You’ll find there are many benefits with cremation. 

Do you need to plan a body disposition after the death of a relative? While you can choose to plan a funeral service followed by a casket burial, more and more people are opting for cremation services in Deer Park, NY. Planning a cremation doesn’t mean you can’t also hold a ceremony of some sort in a church, chapel, or elsewhere. So you can have both if you want. 


Here’s a look at the top reasons that people arrange cremations services for their loved ones.


The Cost is Lower 


There’s no denying that cremation services are more cost-effective than funeral services are. You can verify this for yourself if you take a look at the general price list of any funeral home you are potentially interested in working with. So if you really are on a tight budget or if you don’t want to spend more than is absolutely required, you’ll naturally want to consider arranging a cremation for your deceased loved one. You’ll be glad to know that you can plan an affordable cremation without compromising your relative’s final send-off. The funeral director you plan with will be able to answer any questions you may have so that you arrange a meaningful event. 


Smaller Carbon Footprint 


Some families who plan cremations for their deceased loved ones do so because of environmental concerns. If you opt for a cremation over a burial, for instance, you can more easily skip the embalming process. You can also avoid taking up ground space since you won’t have to bury a casket. Even if you choose to bury the cremation urn, an urn is much smaller than a casket so the ground space requirement will be much less. This means a lower carbon footprint. You can also choose to get a water-soluble urn if you want to cast the urn in the water or get a biodegradable urn if you want to bury the urn on your property or in an urn garden. 


Process is Much Easier 


Some individuals choose to arrange a cremation as opposed to a burial in order to keep the process as straightforward as they can. Arranging a body disposition right after losing a loved one can be very stressful. But planning a cremation will take less time than planning a funeral with a burial. This is something to consider if you’d rather keep things as simple as you can.
