What Final Disposition Options Are There After the Cremation Service?

Michael Bernardo • May 3, 2021

If you arrange a cremation service in Glenwood Springs, CO , you’ll need to consider final disposition issues. What this means, essentially, is that you’ll have to decide what will become of the cremated remains after the cremation is completed by the funeral home.

What follows is a look at some of the final disposition options you and your family can choose.

Columbarium Niche

Many families choose to place their loved ones’ cremation urns in columbarium niches. A columbarium is a structure, often set up on the grounds of a cemetery, where urns can be placed. You might want to think of a columbarium as an above-ground burial option since the urn containing your loved one’s cremated remains can be placed on a shelf-life space in a columbarium. This means that you and your loved ones will be able to visit the site whenever you wish. So a columbarium represents a great permanent memorialization option.

Urn Garden

An urn garden is a landscaped area in a cemetery where cremation urns can be buried. Many cemeteries offer this option. It’s a more economical way to bury the cremated remains of a loved one than it would be if you were to get a burial plot where caskets are traditionally buried. You can ask the funeral home you plan the final service with for your urn garden options.

Private Property

You can also bury an urn on your property if you want, or you can place it above-ground in a flower garden or even on a patio deck. As well, you can bring the urn indoors and place it wherever you wish. It will be a reminder to you of someone who had been special to you. A benefit of memorializing a loved one on private property is that you can change locations from time to time. So you might initially put the urn on the fireplace mantel and later on place it outdoors. Just make sure that the urn you buy is made of a material that can withstand the elements – if you do plan to place it outside.

Cremation Jewelry

Cremation jewelry is another way you can permanently memorialize a loved one who was near and dear to you in this life. When you get cremation jewelry that contains some of the cremated remains in an internal compartment, you will be able to symbolically take your deceased loved one with you wherever you go. And since cremation jewelry can come in the form of just about any type of jewelry, you’ll definitely find something you like. It’s worth looking into!
