The funeral industry has seen a dramatic shift in recent decades, with cremation rates steadily rising across the United States. Back in 2000, only about 26% of Americans chose cremation. Fast forward to today, and that number has more than doubled! Experts predict this trend will continue, with cremation becoming the most common choice in the coming years.
Why the Shift Towards Cremation?
Several factors contribute to the increasing popularity of cremation:
- Cost: Cremation is generally more affordable than traditional burial.
- Flexibility: Cremation allows for more flexibility in memorial services and final disposition.
- Environmental Concerns: Some individuals prefer cremation due to its perceived lower environmental impact.
- Changing Social Norms: Cremation is becoming more socially acceptable and less taboo.

This rise in cremation has significant implications for funeral homes. While cremation may involve fewer traditional services, it still requires proper care and handling of the deceased. This is where a reliable mortuary cooler becomes essential.
