There are millions of senior citizens and baby boomers in the United States who are beginning to pre-plan their funeral arrangements. With the growing number of people choosing to be cremated, others are wondering if they should do the same thing? This is something that has to be thought over, and possibly discussed, with loved ones before making a final decision. Does a child want their aged parent to be cremated? Sometimes, family members are against cremation because they want a traditional burial with a casket that’s placed in the ground. They also want a traditional headstone placed in a cemetery where the family can visit and pay respects.
