What are some types of cremation disposition?
Cremains may be placed in an urn and buried in a regular burial plot or family plot. Some cemeteries have special areas set aside for burial of cremains. Urn vaults are recommended to prevent damage to the urn from natural elements. Inurnment: This is the placement of cremains in an urn and the urn then placed in a special structure called a “columbarium.” Today, many cemeteries and memorial parks have these arrangements. Cremains At Home: Many families choose to set aside special places within their homes for the cremated remains of their loved one. High-quality, decorative urns usually are used for this purpose. Also, cremains may be divided among family members who wish to retain them in miniature urns of their choice. Scattering: Some families elect to scatter the cremains of their loved one. This can be done in special scattering gardens, at sea, or in other private areas. Check state regulations before scattering since this is often prohibited in public areas.
