“Cremation is just too scary to me” 

If you’re scared of the idea of choosing an Indianapolis, IN cremation, it’s likely because you simply don’t know enough about it. Because there is absolutely nothing to be scared of when it comes to cremation. Despite what you may have heard in the past, the cremation process doesn’t involve the use of any fire.

“Cremation doesn’t align with my religious beliefs” 

If you’re a Jewish or Muslim person, you’re more than welcome to use this as an excuse for not considering cremation. Judaism and Islam are not on board with the idea of permitting people to be cremated. But you should know that many other religions allow cremation services these days. Even Catholicism, which long opposed cremation, has finally come around to it. For this reason, you shouldn’t ever use this excuse for not giving serious thought to potentially being cremated.

“My family isn’t going to go for me choosing cremation” 

Cremation isn’t necessarily something that a lot of families used to talk about. There was no real reason to since the vast majority of people weren’t being cremated as recently as just 20 years ago. As a result, you might not know where your family stands on cremation, but you might assume that they wouldn’t accept your decision to be cremated. You might be right. But you might also be wrong and not even realize it because your family hasn’t ever spoken about cremation. You should bring the topic up and see how they respond. They might surprise you. 

“My local funeral homes probably don’t offer cremation services”
