Or, for an additional charge, it may be delivered to them or to the final resting place. Whatever the choice of disposition, legal regulations and strict professional ethics ensure that the remains of the deceased are cared for with dignity and respect. All cremations are performed individually. And our crematory uses metal identification tags to preserve a careful chain of custody of the remains. Many choose to bury the ashes in their container in a family cemetery plot.
Some cemeteries require an urn vault for burial.
The urn also may be placed in a niche within a columbarium, mausoleum, or church. A small engraved plaque may be ordered for the urn, grave, or niche. Some people want the cremated remains scattered. This may be done in a special cemetery garden, at sea, or at some other place of special significance. If you choose scattering, you still may wish to designate a place of permanent memorial and mark it with a plaque, a tree planted in remembrance, or some other means.
