On line or internet cremation in the Dallas, Texas Fort Worth areas is increasing by the day. Most area funeral homes are pushing 50 percent or higher cremation rate. Some would ask why? Well, I’ve covered cost, and convenience, the next big determining factor is flexibility.
Face it, families of today are mobile and scattered. The decision to cremate has opened the door for many families to limitless different types of ways to plan a fitting memorial for their loved one. The fact that their family is scattered all over the country, or world for that matter, allows more involvement by many interested family members, instead of the few that usually get called upon just because they live near. Nobody has to feel hurried, and families are able to take the time necessary to plan a tribute fitting and needed, and not being so rushed into service or visitation times or dates.
As well, churches, in most cases, are very willing to work with their members to plan special details regarding memorial services, even if the planned events aren’t taking place for a month or longer. There’s not the rush involved in scheduling a flight, or taking off work, trying to hurriedly prepare to get out of town. Families can take the time, plan what’s right for them. Also, with social media platforms of today, families can work together to plan for a future memorial service from wherever they live…near and far.
I can’t think of any of the 100’s of families I’ve taken care of, that wouldn’t have been well served by the affordable cost and flexibility of on-line cremation arrangements. The death care industry is changing fast. As more and more of the mobile and scattered families of today realize how the idea of internet cremation will allow a dignified, cost effective way to properly pay tribute to their deceased loved one, the even more popular this idea will become.
Flexibility isn’t only realized by the family who wishes to plan a memorial. There’s a whole other area where it comes in to play. The flexibility of cremation on line with an on-line cremation provider, is also appealing to the families that don’t relish the idea of having to visit the local mortuary. I constantly hear from families I serve, how much they appreciate the idea of being able to make a short phone call, followed by a few minutes on their computer or tablet to take care of a few forms…done. All of this from their sofa in their living room. It’s true, this idea is revolutionizing the whole concept of cremation.
