PLACEMENT OF ASHES

Making a decision about the placement of ashes can be hard.  The more that time passes the more difficult that decision can become.

When deciding what to do there are basically three options for you to consider:

1. Inter the ashes
2. Scatter the ashes
3. Keep the ashes 

What is best for you depends on personal choice. 

Interment

Interment involves burying the ashes in a cemetery or some other special place. For some, having a special place to visit and a grave to tend, which marks the life of the one who has died, can be very important. 

Most cemeteries have special areas designated for the interment of ashes and in most instances you may choose the plot. These areas can include options such as gardens, lawn areas, and trees. Most ash plots make provision for two interments and a memorial to mark the plot.

Scattering

Ashes may be scattered in selected areas at the cemetery, or at another location you feel is appropriate. 

When ashes have been scattered you may still wish to have a memorial of some sort. Options may include a Memorial Wall Bronze Plaque or ash plot at a cemetery. 

You do not have to have the ashes scattered or interred in the cemetery grounds to have a memorial there. 

Keeping the Ashes

Ashes may be kept for a variety of reasons. A great deal of comfort may be gained from taking ashes home, and it is ok to do this.
