Why might a family choose to store the cremated remains of their loved one?
• To bury the urn in a location other than the community in which the death occurs, such as another province or country. • To bury the urn in a local cemetery when weather conditions improve, as may occur during the winter months. • To hold the urn until the death of the deceased’s spouse or parent, in order that they can be interred together. • To hold the urn until family members or friends outside the province or country are available to attend interment. • To hold the urn for interment on a particular date, such as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.
