Interview Excerpt:



Nancy: Now you said that cremation is almost up to 50 percent nationwide and 45 percent in your area in the south.



Beacham: Right. We put a crematorium in, in 1997. I had to wait until after my father passed because he was adamantly opposed to cremation.


Nancy: He was.



Beacham: In 1997 I installed one and our cremation was 13 percent of our services at that time. As I said, last year it was 43 percent and this year it's hitting 45 percent. So I see it continuing to increase. I know that in the next few years it's going to become over 50 percent here.
