CREMATION MEMORIALS

Many people opt for cremation either as a personal preference or economic reasons. Families decide to honor the deceased in various ways. Some spread ashes over a favorite place, while others perform a traditional burial within a cemetery. Some folks store their "dearly departed" in a beautiful urn on the mantle, and others have them tucked away in a box in a bedroom closet. Mourning is for those left behind, and we each have our own desires toward closure and remembrance.

Families wanting an entombment place away from home and above ground, now have choices in memorial options that allow for an accessible space to hold the cremated remains ("cremains" of loved ones.  A traditional memorial space can have a marble or granite face, be inside or out and tastefully marked by a custom bronze plaque.  

​Another option is a glass front niche which allows an urn to be seen at all time and affords the opportunity for personalization through adornment and "window dressing." This resembles a "shadowbox" as families decorate the space with photographs, letters, flowers and momentos ranging from jewelry to novelty items that define the deceased. Glass fronts also can be etched with a specific design as well.
