Our research indicates that 38-42% of seniors today, who are planning to be cremated, truly do not want to be cremated. Rather than having the traditional funeral they truly want, seniors today are often opting for cremation as a means of disposition upon death. This trend is emerging in today's senior population because there is no one they trust to take care of their gravesite when they pass on. Their children reside far away; they have no children, or have no close relatives to care for their final resting place in a convenient manner for the long term.

A Massachusetts firm has "THE ANSWER". Westland Perpetual Trust was founded in 1987 by a former funeral director who had more private requests from loyal and trusting clients for gravesite maintenance than he could personally handle. Headquartered in Worcester, Massachusetts, Westland is the nation's only provider of personalized long-term beautification and maintenance services at a family's gravesite anywhere in the United States and Canada for a one-time cost with services provided for a minimum of 20 years.
