After you have had a direct cremation in Yukon, OK , you may wonder what to do with the ashes. You have several options for disposing of the cremates of your loved one. You may choose to bury the cremated remains or dispose of them in other ways. There are many affordable options where you can bury your loved one’s ashes according to your preferences.

You also choose to keep the cremates in the family or scatter them in your chosen place. Burying your loved one’s cremated remains in a cemetery or other place is very popular. The costs and other factors may affect where you bury your loved ones’ cremated remains after a cremation.

Before you choose where and how to bury the cremated remains, you may need to ask yourself several questions. These questions include;

  • – What are your religious guidelines for burying cremated remains?
  • – Do you want to have the ashes in a place your family can visit easily and regularly?
  • – Will you bury the ashes together with the urn?
  • – Do you have to pay for the plot if you bury the cremates?
  • – Do you want to bury the ashes with another family member?
  • – Can you bury the urn with a casket?
  • – How will you travel with the urn if the burial place is far from home?

Considering these factors, you can bury your loved one’s cremated remains in various places. Some of these places are;

Entombing Cremates in a Columbarium

A columbarium is a building in a cemetery that houses cremates; it consists of small wall spaces- niches- that are the size of an urn. Each niche holds one urn; however, you may buy several niches to keep several urns.

After the urn containing the cremated remains is interred in the niche, a bronze plaque showing the name of the person whose remains are in the niche, prices of niches vary depending on where the columbarium is.

Burying the Remains in an Urn Garden

You may choose to bury the cremated remains of your loved ones in an urn garden after a direct cremation in Yukon, OK. An urn garden is a dedicated place in a cemetery where you can bury your urns. Some cemeteries have more elaborate urn gardens where the urns are interred in the landscape.

Burying Cremated Remains in a Plot

You may buy a burial plot to bury the cremated remains of your loved one. Since the urns are small, most cemeteries allow you to bury many urns in one plot. You can buy one plot to bury the urns of your family members. Many cemeteries require you to enclose the urn in an urn vault if the remains are to be buried in the ground.

The urn vault supports the soil around and above the urn so it does not collapse; this minimizes cemetery maintenance. If you do not want to buy an urn vault, you may consider burying the cremated remains in a green burial ground; these do not require burial vaults.
