-- Since 2015, cremations in Denver, Colorado, have always been the preferred means of funeral services. About 70% of the deceased in Denver has been cremated. Until today, cremations in the county are all the more replacing the traditional burials.
One of the main reasons why most families tend to choose cremation services rather than direct burials is the separation amongst families. It is not entirely uncommon that members of the family live in different states or even reside in different countries. When choosing traditional burials, the body of their loved ones has to be placed in a cemetery. Compared to having the body cremated and placed in an urn, it’s a lot more accessible to every family member. Given that the body’s not in a fixed place like that of a cemetery.
Another possible reason why cremation rates have significantly increased over the years is that people nowadays are now more accepting of the process than before. Back then, traditional direct burials were the only option that families can choose for their dead loved ones. However, due to some problems related to limited land spaces in several places, these families were given the option to have their loved ones cremated instead. Aside from cultural acceptance, another huge factor will have to be religions. Today, almost all religions accept the process as a means of burying the dead. With that, it cannot be denied that cremation rates have significantly increased over the years.
Among these reasons is the most significant of all – the price. Today, people who have recently lost their loved ones choose to have a cremation rather than a direct burial due to costs. On average, traditional burial in Denver will cost around $5,000 to $7,000, excluding the cemetery fees. However, this will depend on the type of service that you are going to get. On the other hand, a cremation service can start at around $995 and can go up to $2,250. The higher margin of this price tag comes with the higher end of the cremation services. If you take a look at these prices, however, it can be seen that even the highest-rated cremation service is still cheaper compared to that basic standard of a traditional burial.
