Furthermore, the market is characterized by increased cremations in recent years, and driven by cost savings, environmental considerations, and changing cultural preferences. For instance, the International Cremation Statistics 2022 highlighted a staggering 57.53% of all deaths in the U.S. have resulted in cremations, with a total of 1,949,074 cremations taking place in 2021. This trend continued in 2022, with a slight increase in the percentage of cremations, reaching 58.97% and totaling 1,949,972 cremations in the U.S.
In addition, the green burial trend in various regions across the globe is gaining momentum, driven by a growing demand for environmentally friendly and sustainable funeral options. Organizations such as the Green Burial Council (GBC) in the U.S. or upcoming trends of biodegradable human seed pods as a potential replacement for wooden coffins, which actively support the contemporary green burial trend with a focus on offering environmentally suitable burial options, safeguarding forests, andpromoting natural burial sites.
Moreover, the market is highly competitive, with a large number of players offering a wide range of services, including funeral houses and crematoriums, choosing a casket, embalming, arranging and coordinating a funeral, transferring remains, and supporting with paperwork. The growing demand for eco-friendly funeral services, such as biodegradable caskets and green burials, drives the market growth. Furthermore, the rising demand for online services, such as virtual funerals, is also propelling market growth.
Industry players are adopting strategic moves to expand their business footprint and grow their clientele. For instance, in May 2023, Carriage Services, Inc. announced a partnership with National Guardian Life Insurance Company (NGL) and Precoa, a leading pre-arranged funeral sales and marketing company. This historic collaboration aims to bring together Carriage Services comprehensive funeral services portfolio and NGL and Precoa's expertise in pre-arranged funeral planning, enabling families to enjoy a more streamlined and personalized experience in the U.S. region.
