Families have a couple of options when choosing a memorial allowing cremated remains of their loved ones to be above ground. Many traditional memorials can be specifically designed or modified to contain cremains. Generally these will have the look and feel of regular monuments and can be used in both cases, burials or standard interment and above-ground created remains.
A large assortment of monuments or bases may be fitted with a cored space for storage of cremains. Some monuments, however, are designed specifically for cremains; these are Cored Monuments, which have similar characteristics to Upright Monuments. The cored monument will keep the cremated remains dry and protected from the elements and normally will not require a vault of any type.
Monuments with this feature will often hold one or more containers for the placement of cremated remains, and urns are not typically used. Because cored monuments do not need to be relocated for ground burials, they are generally much easier to maintain. Today’s monuments may be easily customized in an endless variety of options and designs, fit for every budget and location, and this flexibility is a very attractive feature for many families looking for alternative solutions.
If a cored monument is for you, please speak with a representative for more information.
