Make Environmentally-Friendly Choices When Considering Final Wishes

Cremation is becoming a more popular choice for the burial requests among those that are thinking about their final wishes in an environmentally-friendly way. Cremation is being chosen to conserve funds and space associated with more traditional burial regimes.
