Available as a download only: The 2019 NFDA Cremation & Burial Report is a comprehensive statistical compilation of statistics, projections, and analysis of consumer preferences for cremation and burial in the United States, Canada and worldwide. This report includes the major factors influencing rising cremation rates and how these factors are affecting funeral service revenues.
State/province level cremation and burial statistics and projections are included for the U.S. and Canada. Historical cremation rates are included from the year 2010 and are projected through the year 2040.
The statistical projections contained in the 2019 NFDA Cremation and Burial Report were compiled by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Applied Population Laboratory Department of Community and Environmental Sociology. State-level deaths by method of disposition data were collected from state vital statistics departments or similar state regulatory agencies for the years 2003-17. Other findings presented in the report are from proprietary NFDA research studies, such as the 2019 NFDA Consumer Awareness & Preferences Study.
