American Cremation Society Opens to Serve Mid Michigan
Provides Affordable Cremation Services and Dignified Options
/EINPresswire.com/ Flint, MI - August 22, 2012 -- Cremation is on the rise in the United States thanks to the many options this type of alternative arrangement provides families in their time of need. In response, American Cremation Society recently opened to provide professional, compassionate, affordable and, most importantly, convenient after-death arrangement options for families in Mid Michigan.
According to national figures, nearly 50% of those making funeral plans today choose cremation over burial. As a result, the Sharp family, long-time leaders in providing compassionate funerals and funeral planning, recognized the need for flexible cremation services. The American Cremation Society was established to provide such options and give families the convenience of making all arrangements online.
"More families today want flexibility, convenience and control when making final arrangements for a loved one," says Roger L. Sharp, founder of American Cremation Society. "Because we are dedicated to serving families, we knew many could benefit from having the types of affordable cremation options that American Cremation Society provides."
While Sharp Funeral Homes can provide the full array of traditional cremation and funeral arrangements, American Cremation Society specializes in another affordable alternative known as direct cremation, a rising trend that allows families to arrange a low cost, no-service cremation. Arrangements for this simple process can be completed online, saving a visit to a funeral home.
American Cremation Society makes choosing and arranging direct cremation easy through their website www.american-cremation.com. Individuals may visit this site to learn more about direct cremation options and to obtain all the necessary forms to arrange a simple yet dignified solution.
"We have been focused on providing the best quality service and value to our families and friends for more than 100 years. Through American Cremation Society we now offer families the efficiency and convenience of making arrangements online, giving them choices in their time of need," notes Sharp.
Direct cremation gives families more options when making final arrangements for a loved one. Families can control the process by making arrangements online or over the phone. The direct cremation choice also appeals to the do-it-yourself types who prefer to be more involved, and, as a result, want to receive savings because of the amount of effort they make themselves. Direct cremation can provide savings on funeral service and burial expenses in those situations. Direct cremation can also save additional time and money since all arrangements, from transportation to cremation options to urn selection, can be completed online.
Like other cremation choices, direct cremation can give grieving families additional time to cope. With direct cremation, families don't need to rush to plan a funeral, giving them time for bereavement. This option also provides families the opportunity to either skip the traditional service or plan an alternative that suits their individuals needs better.
Families may select direct cremation for religious or environmental reasons as well. Regardless of the reason a family chooses direct cremation, American Cremation Society is ready to assist.
American Cremation Society is a locally owned and family-operated business, backed by the Sharp family's long history of servicing Mid Michigan families. Sharp Funeral Homes have been honored locally for their community service and recognized nationally by the National Funeral Directors Association. As with other Sharp family businesses, staff at American Cremation Society are dedicated and professional. American Cremation Society can even work closely with Hospice as needed.
