Ensuring Success in the Coming Year

We are nearing the end of 2024. In addition to reviewing your books, your successes and your challenges over the past year, a good business practice is to spend a bit of time this month looking forward into 2025.

It should come as no surprise that the cremation industry is predicted to continue steady growth next year. Along with that continued growth, industry experts expect evolution within the field. According to the Cremation Association of North America (CANA), the cremation rate in the United States is projected to reach more than 65% and in Canada that number is expected to climb to more than 75%. This growth, according to Sundale Research, is attributed to a shifting customer mindset away from traditional burial that is partially influenced by environmental concerns.
