What will you do with the cremated remains of your loved one after the cremation service is done? You’ll have a lot of options to choose from – and some of those options are available at Colonial Beach, VA cemeteries. If your plan is to inter the cremated remains of your deceased loved one, check out these options and then you and your family can make a decision.

 

Cemetery

You will find the most interment options at a cemetery – and some cemeteries offer more possibilities than others. So it’s important that you research your options before making a decision. Do you want to bury the cremated remains in a burial plot that is usually used for the burial of a casket? Some cemeteries will allow you to bury the ashes of your deceased loved one in the same space where a family member was previously buried. Different funeral homes have different rules pertaining to the burial of ashes, so be sure to ask questions.

 

Urn Garden

Do you know what an urn garden is? It’s a beautifully landscaped area on the grounds of a cemetery where people can bury urns containing the ashes of their deceased loved ones. There are various options when it comes to urn gardens. For instance, the urns can be buried, the ashes can be scattered, the ashes can be placed into benches, and much more. If any of these options appeal to you, reach out to several cemeteries to determine exactly what their urn gardens entail. It would be a mistake to assume that all urn gardens are more or less the same.

 

Private Property

Another option is to bury your loved one’s urn either on your property or on the property of another family member. You can ask the funeral director at a funeral home about your best options for urns intended for burial. Do you want an urn that will remain intact after buried? Do you want something biodegradable so that it ultimately breaks down underground? There are urns for different purposes, so ensure you get the right urn if it will be buried on private property.

Columbarium

Yet another interment option is a columbarium. These buildings are often found on the grounds of cemeteries just like urn gardens are. The walls contain shelves or cubby holes that are called niches. You can place the urn containing your loved one’s ashes on one of the niches. This provides a permanent resting place for someone who had been near and dear to you. You and yours can visit the columbarium niche whenever you desire to.
