BRIEF HISTORY ON CREMATION

Cremation has been a choice of preparing a person�s mortal remains for final disposition for centuries. Cremation probably dates back as far as 4000 B.C., and has been practiced throughout the world depending upon religious beliefs or a person�s wealth. In Roman times, cremation was reserved only for those who had wealth, while in many Asian countries; cremation was almost the exclusive form of disposition.
