Cremation
is chosen by many families and individuals as an alternative
to traditional burial. However, cremation often follows
a traditional funeral service. It is selected for many reasons
ranging from religious beliefs or ethnic customs to cost.
There
are a variety of options for the final disposition of cremated
remains. Urns or other containers may be placed in a niche
at a columbarium, a structure or room designed to contain
cremated remains. Families may elect to bury the urn in
a family plot or cemetery or keep it in another place of
personal significance, such as the home.
It
is helpful to consider all the options and take the time
to ask questions before making a final decision about such
an important event. One of our licensed funeral directors
will help answer any question you may have. Making an informed
choice can help assure peace of mind for everyone involved.
