If you are not sure how to plan for the funeral of a loved one or yourself, you may want to consider cremation services in West Ashley, SC. Palmetto Cremation Society offers a variety of different cremation services that can help make planning the perfect cremation for your loved one easier. If you aren’t sure if cremation is the right choice for you, consider all the benefits of this type of funeral.

Affordable

One of the biggest reasons many people choose cremation is because it’s so affordable. It costs just a fraction of the cost of traditional funerals and burials. There is no need to use chemicals to prepare the body, buy a burial plot, or a casket. All of these things quickly add up for traditional funerals but are unnecessary for cremation. You can choose an affordable urn and only pay for the cremation process. Cremation is ideal for anyone who doesn’t have a lot of money to spend on a funeral or has no life assurance or veterans benefits to cover the costs.

Fast 

If you are in a hurry or just don’t have a lot of time to spend on a burial or funeral, cremation is a fast alternative. It can be completed in just a couple of days and there is no need to prepare the body or make any other arrangements that are necessary with burials and other types of funerals. Once the cremation is complete, family members can take the ashes and do with them as they please. Cremation also allows you to keep the ashes until you have more time to plan a funeral or until everyone can make arrangements to attend a memorial service.

Convenient

Cremation is the most convenient and simple funeral process. There is no need for a lot of planning, but there are plenty of options if other things should be included. The cremation can be direct or there can be memorial services or even tributes to the deceased before or after the cremation is complete. It allows family members to plan the funeral more easily and accommodate family members and friends who are traveling or out of town.

Environmentally Friendly

One of the reasons so many people enjoy using cremation services is because they know its safe for the environment.
