minus-squarecan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 years agoAre people embalming less because cremation is increasing in popularity?
minus-squareImplyingImplications@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up19·edit-22 years agoYes. The places I worked had about 80% of clients choosing cremation. I assume it’s mostly a cost decision. Cremation does not require a casket or a cemetery plot, which are two very expensive items.
