Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, absolutely. Cremated remains can and should be interred in a cemetery for permanent memorialization. We offer dedicated urn gardens, indoor and outdoor columbarium niches, and private family estates specifically designed for the dignified burial of ashes.
Columbarium niche prices vary based on location, size (single or companion), whether indoor or outdoor, and finish type. Most niches feature granite fronts, though glass-front options are available. Our niches are often more affordable than in-ground burial because they don't require a vault or large monument. Call us at (704) 545-6101 for current pricing.
Yes, for in-ground urn burial, we require an urn vault. This durable outer container protects the urn from soil pressure, water intrusion, and maintenance equipment. Vaults prevent the ground from settling over time, ensuring the gravesite remains level and dignified.
Yes. Many families choose to have cremated remains buried with or near a previously interred family member. An urn can be placed within the same burial plot, allowing loved ones to rest together. This is a meaningful way to keep families united.
