At FT, we’re always watching the cremation rates and new information coming out about where cremation is going. We are grateful for professional organizations like the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA) and the important research and information they provide for us to prepare for the future.
A few things we know about what’s been happening in 2025 from the NFDA Cremation & Burial Report:
- The U.S. cremation rate is rising.
- The Canadian cremation rate is rising.
- Cremation is outpacing traditional burial.
- More providers are offering online cremation arrangement tools.
What does all of this mean for cremation providers? It means employment and revenue growth for your business. That’s a big deal! This is where FT comes in. We can help you figure out the best way to prepare your cremation business for growth.
Some of the drivers behind these trends are an increase in quantity of deaths as the largest generation of Americans is aging. Additionally, according to the Philadelphia Cremation Society, cremation is becoming more widely accepted among major religions and direct cremation can be more cost effective than other end-of-life options. These are big factors for so many families.
