The Lower Cost Funeral and Cremations are on the rise, they are overtaking burials across the USA. People simply want to spend less on Funeral Cost.

“And Thomas J. Deisler, owner, president and licensed director of Deisler Funeral Home at 2233 Hemmeter in Saginaw Township, said about 40 percent of those planning a funeral service in Saginaw County choose cremation.

“I’ve had people that have bought graves years ago and are calling me to see if someone else wants it,” he said. “They want to opt out of being placed in those graves and they’d rather have a cremation and a memorial to follow.”

The Cremation Association of North America estimates cremation was the method of disposition for about 36 percent of deaths in 2008, a 12 percent increase from 1998.

Deisler said more people are choosing cremation because of the almost $3,000 in savings realized by avoiding burial costs.”-via www.mlive.com
