style=\"line-height: 22px;\">Cremation began to gain popularity again in the late 19th century with the emergence of new cremation techniques and the founding of the Cremation Society of England in 1874.<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 22px;\">In the United States, cremation was relatively uncommon until the mid-20th century, when the Cremation Association of North America was established in 1913, leading to increased acceptance and popularity of cremation as a means of disposition.<\/p><p style=\"line-height: 22px;\">Today, cremation is a widely accepted and popular option for many individuals and families, accounting for more than 50% of all dispositions in some regions of the world.\nThere are many reasons why someone might choose cremation as a means of
