Why cremation has overtaken burial in America (msn.com)

This article was intriguing because I personally would rather be cremated when I die than have a traditional funeral. The article details the authors personal experience with the debate of funeral or cremation which I found actually kind of insightful. They also talk about a how cremation rates are going up dramatically in America and the world in general.

Overall really liked the article. I even listened to the podcast that the article was based off of. The author does a great job of getting on a relatable, personal level that I liked.

    I always figured cremation was the way to go. What’s the point in taking up space underground? The story is written from an “I” perspective, which is probably fine considering the subject.

    At a funeral last week I was thinking it was also a waste to put a $5,000 (at least) casket in the ground.
