Cremation


Cremation is not new. Records dating back more than 6,000 years indicate that people along the Greek Peninsula were the first to practice cremation. It was primarily done as a practical way to bring the bodies of fallen warriors home to honor them. Cremation is practiced worldwide and most prevalent in Asia and Europe. The first cremation in America was performed in 1876 in Pennsylvania. Today, approximately 32% of persons who die are cremated in the United States.
