When it comes to end of life procedures, cremation is less expensive than a traditional burial. Both can be expensive if any type of viewing or service is conducted. Even if cremation is arranged, embalming and body preparation is required for viewing and a service. That, along with arranging the actual service, ordering flowers, and having memorial folders printed will get costly quick. Most attendees expect some sort of reception or “mercy” meal after the service, which adds to the burden and cost.
It also prolongs the public suffering endured by immediate family members. Grief is exhausting, stressful, and personal. Some family members may be comforted by having family and friends gather close during that time, but others are not. A young parent who loses a spouse, for example, has children to support through grief they may not understand, may have financial worries, and is also trying to grieve. Putting on a brave front for others is not helpful.
