This statistic shows the outcome of a survey done on the preferences for being buried or cremated in the Netherlands in 2017. When the Dutch respondents were asked whether they would like to be buried or cremated, roughly 30 percent indicated that they would like to be buried. Roughly 50 percent of the respondents, on the other hand, indicated that they want to be cremated.
* The source does not provide the original wording of the question posed during the survey. The wording of the question chosen for this statistic may therefore differ slightly from the original.
