Cremations are becoming a more popular choice with families today.

Cremation is a simpler process that also helps save ground space, but this is not the case with a burial. Nevertheless, both are regarded as both legal and safe ways of dealing with a deceased person.

As it is common today for people to live away from their family roots, cremation provides more flexibility in terms of ‘memorialization’, as compared to the method of burying in a cemetery or graveyard.

Parents of children who have passed away, for example, sometimes find it difficult to move away from their burial site.

The cremated remains can be stored in a cremation urn and displayed on a shelf at home, scattered on land, scattered from the air by plane, floated on water, placed in a columbarium, (a structure with small recessed compartments for placing urns containing cremation ashes), buried in a burial plot (does not require a full-sized plot), or entombed in a crypt within a mausoleum.

You can carry the cremated remains of the deceased with you if you are moving elsewhere, but this not possible in case of burial.
