What To Do With a Loved One’s Ashes
With traditional burial, a loved one is buried in the ground or entombed in a mausoleum, but cremation offers families many additional options.
Among the many choices is keeping your loved one's ashes at home in an urn or other container. You can also create a cemetery memorial, which might be in the form of a niche, a columbarium, a scattering garden, a bench or another type of property.
Many people ask their families ahead of time that their ashes be scattered at a personally meaningful place, such as in the ocean or a forest. Innovative ideas include sending ashes into space, memorializing them in an underwater reef, adding them to fireworks, or having them transformed into a diamond or pressed into a vinyl record. Eco-friendly ideas include biodegradable urns that grow into trees or dissolve at sea.
There are cremation keepsake ideas, such as jewelry, stones or works of art, with any of these choices.
A permanent place to remember
Choosing a final resting place is an important step in creating a family legacy paying tribute to a special life. Cemetery memorialization ensures that future generations have a place to reflect on the life of someone they loved or learn about the life of someone they never met. It also eliminates the possibility that a loved one's ashes may be misplaced at some point (it happens). We have many cemetery property options.
Alternatives to cremation cemetery property
Some people opt out of cemetery property, but even those who choose a permanent memorial at a cemetery may also choose another type of remembrance. That's one advantage cremation has over burial: ashes can be divided among family members or memorialized in multiple ways.
