There are numerous reasons why people choose cremation, and the decision is a very personal one, whether for someone planning their own services in order to alleviate their family from that burden, to family members choosing cremation as a loving and respectful way to memorialize their loved one. Research has shown the following nine factors as considerations in the cremation decision:

• People are dying older and choosing cremation for themselves.
• Migration to retirement locations is increasing.
• Cremation has become acceptable.
• Environmental considerations are becoming more important.
• Level of education is rising.
• Ties to tradition are becoming weaker.
• Regional differences are diminishing.
• Religious restrictions are diminishing.
• Greater flexibility in memorialization services.
