Reasons to Consider a Cremation
There are several reasons why you should consider a cremation, including:- Lower Costs: When compared to traditional burial services, a cremation tends to be more cost-effective.
- Environmentally Friendly: Cremations also tend to be more environmentally friendly than traditional burials.
- Easy Arrangement Process: Although Wujek-Calcaterra makes every process as hassle-free as possible, planning cremation services involves fewer steps than funeral services.
- Location Flexibility: If you and your family live in separate locations, you could perform multiple scattering ceremonies. Urns can be safely transported to any location.
The Cost of Cremation When Compared to a Traditional Funeral
If you are interested in the cost of cremation, our team at Wujek-Calcaterra would be happy to go over the costs with you. The cost of a cremation can vary, but is usually between $1,500 and $3,000. Additional costs may include scattering ceremonies or other memorial services. When you compare this to a traditional funeral, a cremation is significantly less expensive. It is not unusual for a traditional funeral to cost up to $10,000. If you are working with a tight budget, we will work with you to make your services as affordable as possible. What Kind of Ceremony Can You Have With a Cremation?
Choosing between affordable cremation services does not limit the type of service you can have. Here are some options: - Conventional service in which friends and family gather before the cremation. The decedent is present in the coffin.
- A memorial service is held following the cremation. The loved one’s urn may be the centerpiece, but a picture may also be used.
- Private ceremony for invited friends and family members to remember the loved one and provide support for each other.
- Direct cremation can be done when no funeral or memorial service will be held. We do recommend that you have a service to help you through the grieving process but do respect your decision.
