Urns are highly popular. In 2000, around 27% of Americans who died were cremated, according to the Cremation Association of North America and the National Funeral Directors Association. By 2020, that proportion was 56%, with 80% opting for cremation by 2040, according to these organizations.
The rise of cremation is the “the single greatest change in our funeral practices in our generation,” longtime Michigan funeral director Thomas Lynch told The Washington Post.
