History of Cremation
The history of cremation dates back to 3000BC. In 1000BC Greece, soldiers killed in foreign battlefields were cremated there and the ashes brought back to their families for funeral. In some religions, e.g. Hinduism the dead are all cremated.
Why Cremation?
Today about 46% Americans chose cremation. In Europe and Asia, cremation is widely preferred. People chose cremation for various reasons.
· Cemeteries take up space. Many believe that cremation is a more ecologically viable option and helps in land preservation.
· Cremation costs less than a traditional funeral.
