I wonder if the poet Ben Jonson was the first deceased buried standing up?
His 'upright' burial occurred in 1637 at Westminster Abbey.

Westminster Abbey gravesites are the final resting places for more than 3,300 notable people. Learn more in BillionGraves' blog post.

Cremation of your loved one is actually a way you can contribute to saving our environment. Rather than burying a casket designed to last for quite some time, you can scatter the ashes or even bury multiple family member cremains in a single plot.

Cremation Jewelry is a rather new type of jewelry that contains some of the cremated ashes of your loved one. This provides a beautiful memorial that can give comfort and will be treasured.

These days, cremation urns are so much more than simply containers in which to store the ashes of your loved one. Many are beautiful in their own right and can be considered works of art that you can proudly display in your home.

Where funeral pre-planning is concerned, there are a variety of factors to consider. One common issue people like to address is how their remains will be handled. Some prefer cremation, while others are committed to a traditional burial.

Prepaid Funerals.
Did you know that you can prepay your funeral with any funeral director? You can also pre-plan to decide and document your wishes for the future. When prepaying your funeral the money paid is invested with a friendly society and paid out to the funeral director upon death and after the service paid for has been provided. The investment is 'portable' and if you should relocate interstate this can be transferred to another funeral director. However, as all Funeral Directors differ in price, with some companies being a lot more expensive, you will need to shop around to find a competitive price so you don't need to add too much more to your initial investment!
