Does Milton Fields accept cremated remains?
Yes. Cremated remains may be buried in biodegradable urns or scattered in a section of the cemetery reserved for ashes. Beautiful urns made of natural materials may be ordered from Passages International, Inc. Consumers should be aware that while cremation uses fewer resources, it is not without environmental impact. According to the GBC, cremation burns fossil fuel. Some of the older crematoriums use more energy than newer facilities. When a person with dental amalgam fillings is cremated, mercury is emitted. The GBC certifies cremation disposition programs that create or protect habitat. The Council is also working to mitigate mercury pollution from GBC-approved cremation facilities by 2010.
