Awareness has spread a lot where people are opting and suggesting their relatives to the advantages of cremation process instead of the regular way or burials. Cremation process is very simple and it takes only a part of other types. Also there are number of cremation service vendors spread across the country. They extend their services from bringing our casket till the whole cremation completes including special service at the cremation cost.

The main things that a cremation service vendor takes care of are : arranging casket http://www.floridapanthersteamstore.com … ngo-jersey , special prayers or service, transport to the cremation chambers, arrangements to dip the cremation ashes in the water bodies nearby, decorations & photo shoot, invitations for guests & food arrangements and cremation.

Many people still are unaware of the cremation process. It is nothing but exposing of the deceased body to high levels of heat where it is turned down to ashes. The unburnt large bones after cremation are specially crushed and added to the ashes. These ashes remaining are handover to the relatives in urns. Urns can be of different sizes and types depending on the budget.

The cremation process starts with bringing a casket. Depending on the budget casket can be of different types and well decorated. To make the whole cremation process in low budget caskets can be taken for rent too. And then now goes with the arrangements at the house where deceased body lies. Decorations and special prayers are held. Few make these services after the cremation. It depends on the relatives and their beliefs.

Cremation is done in special cremation chambers where high levels of heat are produced. If the cremation chambers is nearby then no special transport is required else transport costs too adds up. Once the ashes are obtained from the cremation chambers it is custom to dip them in the seas for heavenly cause and is done as it is said. Even the cremation societies too offer their services to dip these ashes on the behalf of relatives.

And, now the advantages of cremation. As the cremation process does not involve any brick & mortar and plot of land the process tend to be cheap as compared to burial or other funeral services. So cost wise cremation process is cheaper. Even the cremation process does not release any harmful gases to pollute as in this process no gases or liquids are released. But with ordinary funerals in the open air pollutant gases are released. So open cremation or direct cremation is not suggested. Even the burials too take years to the get the body completely deceased and decayed into the soil.

　　UNITED NATIONS， April 11 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday said that the UN body in charge of population development is very crucial in advancing the new global development agenda.

　　Addressing the opening of the 2016 session of the Commission on Population and Development， Ban said: "This Commission has a proud tradition of focusing on people."

　　The UN body addresses issues related to the timeless opening words of the UN Charter: "We the Peoples，" the secretary-general said.

　　Above all， people are at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development， he said of the 15-year vision unanimously adopted last year by UN member states.

　　PEOPLE CANNOT BE EXCLUDED

　　Ban highlighted the importance of understanding demographic trends， a pillar of the Commission's work， in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)， approved by world leaders in September last year to serve as the blueprint for the global development efforts for the next 15 years.

　　"We all understand that people can never be reduced to mere numbers，" he said. "At the same time， statistics are essential for tracking progress. When people are not counted， they are excluded. To live up to the commitment to 'leave no one behind，' we have to make sure everyone is counted."

　　Governments will have to gather census data and use it to understand demographic change because that will help them develop effective plans， he said.

　　"When I was born， my parents didn't record the date of my birth，" Ban said， noting that families were understandably worried that babies would not survive， and waited until they were sure that their babies were able to survive.

　　That's why his and his wife's passport dates of birth are actually different from their real ones， he said， expressing concern that in some countries， that kind of practice still persists. He urged all countries to have archives of these records and guarantee the rights of citizenship and identity to all.

　　Data is also critical to providing optimal public health services and to ending inequalities， he added.

　　REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

　　Sustainable development demands securing sexual and reproductive health and rights， gender equality and the empowerment of women and young people， the secretary-general said.

　　Many countries have empowered women and men to make their own decisions about the timing and spacing of their children. While this leads to lower birth rates， countries can benefit from a demographic dividend by providing education and other opportunities， especially for youth， he said.

　　In some countries， very low fertility levels are causing population decline. Rural areas are being de-populated， and losing their economic vitality. In other countries， where reproductive health care is lacking， fertility rates remain high. These countries struggle to match the pace of population growth with an expansion of economic output， infrastructure and services.

　　Elsewhere， countries struggle to provide health care and pensions， with their workforce aging and the number of retirees increasing. Some governments have responded by raising the retirement age and expanding opportunities for older persons to have an active life.
