We live in an innovative world that is continually evolving. As our world changes so too does the way we grieve for our loved ones.
Funeral trends are changing, predominantly as a result of a continuous rise in cremation. In light of these changes, opportunities to personalize how we memorialize our loved ones have opened up as well. Cremated remains can be held in urns of all shapes and sizes, they can be buried, or scattered, or kept safely at home.
