"I would rather leave my money to my children than spend it on a funeral."

"It's a nice feeling knowing that my survivors will not have to
go through the ritualistic scene of a funeral."

"We are running out of burial space...cemeteries are using up our scarce land."

"When my time comes...I just want to keep it simple"

The reasons for choosing cremation abound. Enlightened consumers are increasingly changing their belief systems and feelings towards the traditional funeral. Cremation is not only a considerate alternative, it is an environmentally responsible choice. In addition, cremation allows for a wide range of personally meaningful options for final repose of our mortal remains which are simply not otherwise available - sea scattering, kept at home, burial or inurnment in a cemetery at a convenient time are but a few.

As Northeastern Pennsylvania's cremation organization, the Cremation Society of N.E. Pennsylvania (NEPA) was formed to offer those preferring cremation alternative choices in their final arrangements. The Cremation Society of N.E. Pennsylvania provides cremation information and only cremation information so consumers can make an informed choice.
