What happens to a persons remains after cremation?
Answer – After a person is cremated, the remains are placed either in an urn or temporary container. The remains can be returned to the family for scattering or kept as a memorial in the home. Other options include placement of the remains in a columbarium or burial in a family plot. If the remains are to be buried in a family plot, you may be required by the cemetery to purchase an urn vault.
