The Benefits of Cremation by Dignified Cremation

May 15, 2013 - PRLog -- The cremation services company, Dignified Cremation, has spoken of the benefits of cremation for the individual and society as a whole.  In an article posted by Dignified Cremation, the two key elements of cremation are its economical and environmental advantages.  Burials are inherently quite expensive, requiring space, material, and upkeep.  Caskets alone can cost thousands of dollars, and a plot at a cemetery can be thousands as well.  The process of cremation is a more affordable option, requiring much less than burials.

In regards to the environment, burials expose the ground to contaminates starting with the casket itself.  However, the main damage is done through the upkeep of grave sites.  To maintain the plants and foliage requires the use of heavy pesticides and other chemicals that are harmful to the environment. It is true, in fact, that cremation also puts carbon emissions in the air.  It has, though, a significantly lesser impact on the environment.  In addition, a key advantage of cremation is regarding space.  Burials require more land than most realize and, although the United States has been mostly unaffected by this, many cities in Europe and Japan have had issues with space.
