United States of America, population: 320,083,000
Death in America is a $25 billions a year industry. That includes funeral homes, crematoriums, and cemeteries, but excludes related costs such as headstones and crypts. It is expensive to die in the United States. The average traditional funeral could cost upwards of $10,000. Cremation costs are 30% typically lower than traditional burial costs. Around 2.6 millions people die in USA each year.
More than half of Americans choose cremation as their means of handling the remains of loved ones. You can present a dignified celebration of your own or a loved one’s life, without exposing yourself to the financial strain imposed by expensive traditional burials. All major religions accept cremation as a perfectly fine form of disposition apart from Orthodox Judaism and Islam that prohibit cremation and then Hinduism requires cremation.

Canada, population: 34,482,779
Funerals are a billion dollar a year industry in Canada. An American-owned funeral chain is claiming an ever-growing share of that market. Around 360,000 Canadians die each year.
Funerals are often the third largest purchase most Canadians will make.
They are notoriously expensive. To fight exorbitant prices, memorial societies
have sprung up in every province across the country. People who join want
simple, affordable services. For $10, you can fill out a form indicating what
you want in the way of a service when you die. Ultimately, we have to treat the
death care industry like any other business — ask questions and shop around.
