Permanent Memorialization
Keeping an Urn at Home
This is a common choice. Families can select the perfect urn for their loved one.
Placing the Urn in a Columbarium (aka, a "niche")
Many families find comfort in having a final resting place that they can visit.
Burying the Urn
Similar to a casket, an in-ground burial of the urn allows for a final resting place.
Scatter the ashes
Some families find comfort in scattering the cremated remains at a place that was special to their loved one.
