My dad used to tell me growing up people who don't do a casket are scared to confront the realities of death and loss. It's easier to just throw an urn up there and ignore it. I wish I was kidding.
Mine is a combo of financial (cremation is cheaper) and sense (I don’t want my remains to be “dressed up”).
Let me guess, your dad also believed in embalmment? Because that isn’t facing the reality of death.
ETA: Not trying to crap on your dad BTW, in a sense he had a point, I just don’t want to remember my loved ones like that.

I had a 21 year old son pass after losing his fight with cancer. We had an open casket. That last look was tough.
It's been 2 years since he passed and I can no longer see his face from that day without really trying to, but I can still feel what he felt like when I put my hand on his chest that day. It felt like a hard cardboard box. It's amazing what your brain can remember.
