Nobody would like to think of a day when someone close to us will die. The shock can be overwhelming. Still, discussions of death and burial preparations have been considered hard for a family. But gradually and slowly, people are getting more comfortable about it and accepting modern funeral and burial traditions. Also, there are more funeral planning options are available now.
Let’s have a closer look at them and find out more about them.
First of all, I would like to talk about a simple approach to funerals; traditional ceremonies and burials. In the UK, it is very common. It is held by a religious official in a place of worship and contains readings. Hymns and tributes are more common.
However, you can incorporate some special touches if you want a conventional yet special funeral. You can personalize a funeral using music, photos, specific objects, custom eulogies, a dress code, flowers, etc.
Cost of traditional burial in UK and USA: UK total cost of funerals: £ 4,900 to £ 5,050
Funeral rate in the United States: $7,000 and $12,000.
The second option in our list is not a modern one. Woodland burial is considered an eco-friendly alternative to conventional burials. It is also referred to as a green funeral or natural burial. Natural burials are funerals that take place in most western graveyards without embalming and concrete arches that are used to line mostly graves.
Bodies are either covered or placed in a biodegradable casket or a shroud. It is considered that they would naturally decompose. These burials use biodegradable and environmentally safe fabrics and storage vessels.
UK and USA green funeral cost: The price of a burial plot at a natural burial ground will start from a few hundred pounds to several thousand pounds. It also depends on the place you like and where you live in the UK.
Green funeral rate in the USA: $1,000 to $4,000
Cremation is considered one of the most popular funeral options. This option is more common due to religious purposes, as the body is exposed to heat, letting it burn, leaving the ‘ashes’ behind. These ashes are then given to the family after the burial ceremony. They can scatter them in a special site or keep them close, normally in a vase.
The average cost of UK and USA cremation: Direct cremation starts from £ 995 to £ 2,000, while typical cremation starts from £ 3,000 to £ 5,000.
Direct cremation in the U.S. costs $2,300, and a funeral service cremation costs $6,078.
Cryonics is usually the practice of freezing the body of a human. People believe that it will be possible for later medical research to revive them. Despite the many challenges, with the noxiousness of chemicals used to avoid freezing damage to cells, since the late ’60s, many activists have advocated this process of burial.
The expense of UK & USA cryonics: Price depends on the service provider, complete cryonics procedure and long-term storage will range from about $28,000 to over $200,000.
Humans kill coral across the globe, but might one day; they can help save it through their own demise. There are different ways to become part of the earth and one of them, as you die, is a Coral Reef. The Everlasting Reef Corporation puts your ashes in a natural reef mould, which is later dumped as a Coral Reef burial in the sea. This is very useful for marine life.
Expenditure of Coral Reef in UK and USA: Three different types of Reefs UK are available, which launch at about $2,995 (about £2,400).
Eternal Reefs starts at $2,495 in Florida, USA, but can cost up to $6,995.
A cremation diamond, which is also known as a memorial diamond. Many people still do not know about this process. That the ashes of cremated loved ones can be made into genuine diamonds. Cremation diamonds are made precisely from the ashes of cremated person, unlike other diamonds. For this purpose, the ashes are sent to a laboratory where they are exposed to a special pressurized treatment that simulates and condenses nature’s procedure to create regular diamonds.
Cost of Cremation Diamond in UK and USA: The cost of cremation diamonds begins from £ 1400 in the UK.
The rate of cremating diamonds in the USA starts at $1250.
