The starting point to this decision is to first understand and become informed with the facts of cremation.
Cremation Definition
Cremation is an alternative method to burial in terms of handling a corpse. Cremation reduces a body to ash by exposing it to very high temperatures within a large furnace. Many people simply think cremation involves setting the body on fire and letting it burn. However, the overall cremation process is much more technical in nature and done with complete care.
