As the US surpasses 1 million deaths from the Covid-19 pandemic, its citizens are increasingly turning to cremation to handle funerals for the victims. Roughly 55 per cent of those dead were cremated, a process that has long been a more cost-effective way for managing death than burial. The average cost for cremation comes to just under US$7,000, or about US$1,000 less than a burial, according to the US National Funeral Directors Association.
