A body to be cremated must be enclosed in a combustable casket or other suitable container. At Glendale Memorial Gardens, we offer families a variety of options when choosing cremation. We pride ourselves on offering families peace of mind and the knowledge that their loved one's remains have been honoured and placed in a location that is permanent and accessible for visitations. A selection of memorials and vases are also available. There are several ways to memorialize cremated remains.
Urns come in several sizes and designs, usually made from either bronze, wood, or marble.
Families can choose to have the urn placed in a single niche, or in a companion niche where the remains of a husband and wife can be memorialized together, and where the family can visit to pay their respects. Glendale offers a wide variety of indoor and outdoor columbarium niches, as well as the option for an in-ground inurnment. Several gardens have dedicated areas specifically for cremation, with beautifuly landscaped trees, shrubs, and flowerbeds. The staff at Glendale Memorial Gardens are always willing to listen and help answer all of your questions.
