CREMATION GARDENS
A cremation garden is a quiet place of peace and beauty within many cemeteries where a loved one’s remains may be placed without concern for later desecration, development, or concern with permits or permission requests.
​
Cremation gardens are dedicated spaces found in contemporary cemeteries. They feature flowers and ornamental shrubs meticulously maintained by cemetery grounds keepers. A cremation garden provides assurance that a loved one’s remains is protected and honored in a place of beauty.
​
Another valuable benefit of a cremation garden is their protected and designated areas for the scattering of ashes. To complement the scattering of ashes in a garden, an accompanying plaque, marker, monument or other memorial is placed in the garden for a perpetual and permanent memorialization of a loved one.
