Benefits of Cremation, Why Cremation is Better Than Burial?

The benefits of cremation are quite numerous, not only for the family but also for the society. The question of what can be done with the body of a deceased person is determined by several factors. Firstly, the law, which clearly defines the possibilities that the country in which we live allows. Secondly, religion, which no less influences the decisions taken in connection with burial. Thirdly, the customs of the community and finally, one’s own views and beliefs.

The proponents and opponents are likely to be the same and each has their own arguments. Therefore, the choice of funeral arrangements is an individual matter and there is no right or wrong solution. This article is not intended to criticise anyone but only to list the undeniable benefits of cremation.

Benefits of cremation:

✅ Saving space. One can imagine endlessly expanding necropolises. Especially in large cities. Cremation of the body saves space, regardless of whether the urn will be stored in houses or in a columbarium.

✅ The cost of maintaining a cemetery site, which is not unusual, is very high. A much cheaper way would be to place the remains of the deceased in a columbarium, at home, in the garden or scattered in a place indicated by the deceased.

✅ The costs of the funeral ceremony itself. This is a major saving on, among other things, the number of people employed to handle the funeral.

✅ Urn is cheaper than coffin

✅ Greater choice of final resting place. The coffin must accommodate the body of the deceased and therefore it  must be designed  in a specific shape. An urn for ashes, on the other hand, gives you complete freedom to choose the shape and the material of which it is made.

✅ Division of ashes. This is a custom that is popular in many communities. It involves the use of a set consisting of a large urn and several smaller ones. A keepsake is a mini urn for a small portion of the ashes, which is just used to divide the ashes between family members.

Where to store the urns ?

The first thing to remember is that the urn should not be exposed to the conditions if it is not designed to do so. Most importantly, most urns should be stored in a columbarium, catacombs or at home. However, what if you want to place the urn in the garden, for example?

There are special urns designed for this. Outdoor urns are urns made of rain-, wind- and temperature-resistant materials, so we only recommend this model.

Please remember !

✅ Choose an urn of a bigger  capacity than the urn size calculator indicates

✅ If possibile, keep the ashes in a plastic bag
