Yes, it is often possible to bury ashes in an existing grave. This practice, known as "interment of cremated remains," allows the ashes to be placed in a pre-purchased burial plot that has already been used for a traditional burial.
Burying the ashes of your loved one provides several benefits. It offers a permanent resting place where family and friends can visit to pay their respects and solace. It also allows for the preservation of familial traditions and provides a sense of closure and comfort for those grieving the loss. Before burying ashes in the cemetery, there are a few important things to consider:
Familiarize yourself with the specific rules and regulations of the cemetery where you intend to bury the ashes. These guidelines may cover aspects such as the type of urn or container allowed, required permits, and restrictions on grave markers or monuments.
Work with Gill Brothers Funeral Service & Cremation to choose an appropriate burial plot within the cemetery. Consider location, personal preferences, and any specific religious or cultural requirements.
Discuss the available memorialization options with us. These may include the installation of a headstone, plaque, or other commemorative markers to honor your loved one's memory.
Coordinate with family members and loved ones to ensure their preferences and wishes are considered when planning the ashes' burial.
