Every year, with the increasing popularity of cremation services throughout Canada and The US, funeral homes now provide families with a number of different options. Significantly cheaper than traditional burials, cremation rates are soaring as more families turn to a more affordable way to lay their loved ones to rest.
Funeral homes, to meet the high demand for these kind of services, now offer a wide range of cremation services from basic to more elaborate. A direct cremation, with no service can start at as little as $250 in comparison to a basic burial service which starts at over $2,500.
If you want a more elaborate service where friends and family can share memories of the deceased and say a few words then the price will be slightly more however still far cheaper than a traditional burial service.
Cremation services are proving more and more popular especially in the recent global recession which has left many families in Canada and The USA struggling to keep up with mortgages and day to day bills never mind the cost of a funeral service.
Your local funeral home will be able to provide you with a list of different cremation services available so you and other members of the family can decide on which one suits you best, both personally and financially.
Many funeral homes also provide payment plans for families struggling to pay for the service so if finances are an issue ask if this option is available at the funeral home you are using.
Providing a service that your loved one would have been proud of is important not only for their memory but also for remaining family members. A funeral service is a good way for mourning relatives to unite and mourn together. Sharing memories and past stories of the deceased can help relatives and friends get over their grief far quicker. A good send off, organised properly by a funeral home is essential.
If you have recently lost a loved one and have been left with the financial responsibility of paying for their funeral service then take a look at cremation services. Now seen as a respectable, and not barbaric way, to lay a loved one to rest, cremation services can save you thousands when compared to holding a burial service. Ask your local funeral director for information and prices of cremation services - you may be pleasantly surprised.
