Cremation: Religion, Faith, Culture and Costs

Learn how cremation interacts with religion, culture, and finances.

Cremation is when a non living body is reduced to ashes by burning in a crematory fire or crematorium furnace. The remains of the fire are often placed in urns where they are then buried, held at memorial sites, kept by loved ones, or sometimes hold wishes by the person that has passed on. A common wish is to be spread out over the Oceans or something similar. Being cremated is a very common act with other popular methods such as casket funerals.
