Where can cremation urns be placed?
Cremated remains should be treated with respect since they are the remains of the human body. This treatment includes the care and attention to their appropriate placement.Proper interment of cremated remains is available in the Mausoleum, Columbarium or traditional ground burial in a Catholic Cemetery. The total number of urns that can be placed in each niche or grave is preset by the Cemetery. At the time of purchase, depending on the use of the space, the number of burials is deturmined.If after purchase the family would like to make a change in the use of the space, depending on the type of space and number of burials allowed,families may be able to arrange for the additional placement of a cremated remains into a full sized family grave that is already occupied by a casket burial. Ownership and permission to bury are established prior to the additional burial(s) being arranged and an additional user fee will apply.
• One cremation urn can be placed in a niche. • Up to six cremation urns can be placed in crypt which has been purchased as a family columbarium. • We do not place an urn in a crypt already occupied by a casket burial. These placement regulations insure that cremated remains are buried or entombed in a place that provides for distinguished and adequate memorialization of the deceased.
