Price certainly plays a role, but families choose cremation due to distance, environmental concerns and other practical considerations. Cremations are not one size fits all, and the cost of a cremation is dependent upon many things.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a direct cremation can cost as little as $695 in certain areas although adding on items like a viewing, cremation service, and burial of ashes can increase the total cost of a cremation up to $5,000 or more.<\/p>\n<p>With so many families choosing cremation for their loved one, funeral homes and cremation providers are offering competitive pricing and customized services to appeal to the cremation consumer. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nfda.org\/\">National Funeral Directors Association<\/a> (NFDA), 50.2% of Americans chose cremation in 2016 and future projections put this number at over 70% by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding what is included in the total cost of a cremation can help individuals and families decide what works best for them when planning a cremation ceremony.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #14377b;\"><strong>Direct Cremation<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A direct cremation is a simple process where the body is cremated immediately after death without a viewing or any formal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.funeralocity.com\/blog\/2017\/09\/26\/funeral-service-questions-answers\/\">funeral service<\/a>. Direct cremation is the least expensive option because only basic services are included in the final price and there is no embalming or body preparation fee.
