Burial Options for the Cremated Remains of Your Loved One
Do you want to bury the cremated remains of your deceased relative following their cremation service in Plymouth, MI? You’ll find that there are several options if you want to go this direction. Read on to see some of the burial options after the cremation process is completed.
Bury Urn on Your Property
You can, of course, bury the cremation urn on your property. This can be a good idea for any of a number of reasons. If you want to keep your deceased loved one close in a symbolic sense, then burying the urn on your land can be a great idea. An urn is a lot smaller than a casket, of course, so you won’t have trouble finding a suitable place in your backyard. Do you have a garden that has some of your deceased loved one’s favorite flowers? You might want to bury the urn in the flower garden as a tribute to someone who had been so close to you. You can also bury an urn under a tree. Perhaps it can be buried on another loved one’s property. If you wish, you can get a biodegradable urn that will disintegrate underground.
Bury in Urn Garden
Some cemeteries have urn gardens where you can bury the urn containing your deceased loved one’s ashes. You can also scatter ashes in sections of urn gardens. It’s a lot more costly to obtain a burial plot in a cemetery than to bury the same urn in an urn garden. So if you want a cost-effective way to bury an urn on the grounds of a cemetery, an urn garden is the way to go. You and yours will also be able to visit the site in the future if that’s something that you wish to do. You can discuss this with the funeral director who assists you in planning the cremation service. They’ll be able to inform you about cemeteries that do have urn gardens.
Bury in Columbarium
You can also bury the urn, so to speak, in a columbarium. It should be noted that this option is really an above-ground burial. A columbarium is a structure that has niches, or shelving, that a cremation urn can be placed on. This will also provide a place where you and your family can store the urn and then visit it in the future. One advantage of placing an urn in a columbarium rather than burying underground it is that it will be easier to retrieve the urn from a columbarium if you’re relocating and want to take the urn with you rather than to leave it behind.
