Cremation Rates are Rising, be Ready with FT

We’ve said it before, and we’ll keep reminding you, cremation rates are on the rise, and that’s projected to continue. The National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) says the cremation rate could be as high as 82.3% in the U.S. by 2045. It’s currently 63.4% now.

Findings for this include affordability, people looking for more streamlined ceremonies and more Americans identifying as non-religious. Regardless of why the rate is rising, the team at FT North America wants your business to be ready for it.
