Death is not something any of us want to talk about, let alone think about. Having the responsibility of organizing the final resting place is a huge stress on our hearts, bodies, and our wallets. The traditional burial can cost around 7,000 dollars or more! This used to be the most popular method of laying our loved ones to rest for many reasons. However, today, cremation is taking over the death industry.

It is said that for all the people who will die in the next 50 years we would need to allocate a large amount of land which the government and land developers see as a valuable waste. The new trend of cremation in all its wild and artistic forms is combating this problem of space in a creative way.






Originally, our cremated loved ones are returned to us in lovely urns that we sit on our mantles and hope we never knock over accidentally. Now, you have the option of transforming your loved ones ashes into a beautiful glass ball, a pendent to wear, or even cruises and fireworks! send your loved ones off with a celebration.



As morbid as it is, this is an amazing turn in marketing on a product that, before now, was never sought after, thought about, or shopped for. Funeral and death services are an unsought good. However, with all the new special ways to preserve our loved ones and celebrate their lives, death has become marketable. they have made a better and competitive product of death.
