Cemetery Burials are one of history s time honored memorial traditions and is completely appropriate with cremation services. Urns that are placed in the ground are typically sealed in a vault that is designed to protect the urn plus support the earth of the grave. The dimension of an urn vault is typically 12x12x12 so it s important to choose a design that can accommodate the space and ground environment. BURIAL 8

A Columbarium is traditionally located on Cemetery property but is growing in popularity at Churches, Universities, Golf Clubs and other affinity locations. The window of an outside niche can be made of a non transparent material such as Bronze or Granite, and if located inside a building, made of glass. This allows you the opportunity to visually see your memorial urn and any personal mementos from your loved one. NICHE 12
