Cremation Brooklyn has become popular over the past half century. Approximately thirty percent or 500,000 of all deceased individuals are now cremated in the United States. By 2010, it is estimated that over forty percent of those who die will be cremated. The reason why cremation is becoming so popular is the idea that cremation is less expensive than a burial. The word cremation comes from the Latin word “cremo” meaning "to burn" , mainly the burning of the dead. About 600 BC, the Romans adopted the process of cremation. As the Roman Empire spread, so did the practice. The Christians and Jews objected to the practice of cremation because they believed it to be pagan in origin due to the fact the Romans had so many gods and they accepted emperor worship. So the Christians continued to bury the deceased in an East/West direction believing that the Lord's second coming is from the East. Over the past fifty years, Christianity has mellowed and many more faiths are now beginning to accept cremation of the body. Christian faiths have objected to cremation because the Bible speaks of the bodily resurrection of the dead. Christian's believed that because of a bodily resurrection that the body must remain in fact until Christ comes. First Corinthians declares that the earthly body cannot enter into heaven. "Not all of us will die, but we will be transformed in the blinking of an eye the Christians who have died will be raised with changed bodies for our perishable bodies should be changed into heavenly bodies. There is no description what these new heavenly bodies will be, but scripture tells us that one will be like Christ, "for we will see Christ as He is." The earthly body ceases to exist when his or her last breath is drawn. It begins to decay and once it is buried the body returns to its original state. At the grave, during the committal service these traditional words are spoken, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust." In the ground the body begins to decay even though it has been embalmed. The body does just as bodies have done for centuries, it returns to dust. Cremation Brooklyn service is not offered by several funeral homes to the customers.
