Urns. Urns not only provide a dignified receptacle for cremated remains, but can become a focal point of the memorial service as well as a permanent memorial to the deceased.
Final disposition. The final disposition will be your guide in deciding what kind of urn to select. An urn may be buried in a cemetery or kept in the home.
Cremated remains may also be scattered. However, some communities have laws prohibiting the scattering of remains. Our funeral directors can provide you with information regarding ordinances in your area. If scattering or other method of disposition is chosen, a portion of the cremated remains may be retained in a smaller keepsake urn to serve as a focal point of memorialization in the home.
