Why would Christian denominations prefer to use the cross to the crucifix?

Many Christians find it offensive because Jesus has risen from the dead and lives. This is the symbolism of the empty cross. Also some churches teach that Jesus is re-crucified or sacrificed in the Lord's Supper, despite the fact that The Bible says He died 'once for all'. They may see in the crucifix a suggestion of this doctrine that they regard as false.
