By AutolinkPro Cremation Cremation has become a more popular alternative to the formal and often expensive proper funeral service and burial. In fact, in some places it has become law, that remains are to be cremated rather than using land for burial.
Many people have misconceptions about cremation.
When a person dies, depending on the state, the body usually has to be prepared for one of three possibilities. This container can be a specially designed cardboard container or an actual casket, though be aware you don't usually have to buy a casket. If cost is an issue ask for the least expensive container. There is no shame in this request as it will be burned with the body anyway. The remains of the body are usually bone fragments.
