Los Angeles, United States - August 9, 2019 /PressCable/ —
At present, more and more Americans are choosing cremation versus the traditional burial services. In fact, it is now a bigger market than burial-style funeral rites. With the increase in demand also comes the rise in cremation service providers. In Los Angeles alone, there are more than a dozen crematoriums available. This begs the question, whether local business such as Beloved Cremations and their competitors are up to the task when people ask “what is the best cremation service provider in Los Angeles?” Experts lay out the different characteristics of a good cremation service and how consumers can choose the best option.
In 2015, the Cremation Association of North America (CANA) projected cremations rates to be at 49% while the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) estimated burial rates to be at 45%. This trend, according to both parties is expected to continue over the course of a few years.
While this trend is a far cry from ten or 20 years ago, it is not surprising. One of the major reasons consumers gravitate towards cremation instead of burials is cost. To get a loved one buried, there is a need for a casket which can cost up to $3000 or more. It also needs embalming and a plot of land. Overall, the expenses for a burial can total up to more than $10,000 while cremation costs usually tally around $3000.
Another huge factor for the shift is the acceptance of cremation as a funeral rite by different religious organizations or a change in religious preferences by the consumers. There are more agnostics and atheists today more than ever. Eco initiatives are also another reason why some are opting for cremation versus burial.
According to Time online, “California leads the country in the number of cremations performed each year.” While this means that “ the number of funeral homes has fallen almost 10%” as per the NFDA, it also means that cremation service providers have increased at least threefold.
With the increase in cremation services, consumers are now swamped with options from the cheapest services to the most deluxe ones. But how do consumers choose the best options among the sea of cremation providers?
According to experts, there are certain qualities consumers can look for when scouting for the best possible cremation specialist. But before that, customers should have an idea as to what they need and what cremation laws apply in their area so as not to be taken advantage of or to minimize cost to the bare minimum.
Embalming, for instance, is not required in California if the body is to be cremated within or before 24 hours after demise. However, after 24 hours, the body will be required to be embalmed. Caskets are not necessary for cremation. In fact, as per Federal Law, funeral homes or crematoriums are required to inform customers that they have the option to use alternative containers and to make them available to the consumers. Storage includes materials such as wood or cardboard.
When it comes to deciding which crematorium or cremation provider to go for, the three most important elements are the speed and ease of transaction, the affordability of prices and guidance throughout the entire process the service provider can offer.
Providers such as Beloved Cremations offer such services with an added bonus of flexible packages customers can choose for their loved one’s cremation rites.
They boast of a simple and fast cremation process from start to finish because consumers would much rather spend the time grieving for their loss than the paperwork necessary. “This is the last thing you should be spending time on so we’ve made it straight forward, simple and fast to arrange a cremation,” shares the cremation company.
The bereaved simply needs to call Beloved Cremations and they pick up the body, take care of the cremation process and even do the registration and gather copies of the death certificate and finally deliver the urn via traceable mail or is hand-delivered to the consumer.
With their different cremation packages and affordable costs, the bereaved won’t have to spend beyond their means just to give their loved ones a proper cremation. While cremation in itself costs less than burial services, some cremation providers add unnecessary fees that can inflate the costs that is why consumers should know the laws and their rights as well as the detailed expenses included in their bill. Packages for funeral and cremation rights are also a great way to lessen the cost of cremation.
Finally, because losing a loved one is a difficult and devastating time for everyone, it is important that the service provider not only helps with the cremation process but can also offer support and understanding during the entire process. Customers can check the reviews and testimonials about these cremation services to see if they practice an empathetic business voice or are simply transactional.
Raphael Miller said that the “Beloved Cremations’ staff were very thoughtful and helpful during the (this) time.” and that he’s gotten so much support from the service provider all throughout the process of cremation.
Beloved Cremations service within the following areas: Long Beach, Santa Clarita, Glendale, Lancaster, Palmdale and Pomona.They also offer trinkets such as urn necklaces or crematory jewelry so the families of the recently passed can keep their loved ones close always.
