It’s natural to want to stay together with our loved ones in life and in death, but the Catholic Church teaches us not to comingle cremains. As Christians, we are taught that each and every person is viewed in the eyes of God as an individual deserving of respect and honor. Just as you wouldn’t bury two bodies in one casket, nor should you inurn two people’s remains in one urn.
So what choices do you have when you and your loved ones have chosen cremation and you want to stay together?
Don’t worry! You have options!
You can be inurned with your loved ones in our Private Family Cremation Estates. These Estates provide your family with a permanent resting place for cremated remains that future generations can visit. These granite niche cabinets are specially designed to contain the remains of one or several family members in their own separate niches, much like rooms in a home. Private Family Estates are above-ground, and come with several options for personalization so that everyone knows whose room is where in the cabinet. Additionally, there are options to inter more cremains of loved ones in the ground in front of the cabinet. Think of it as a resting place where your descendants can visit, leaving you to rest in peace and solidarity with the rest of your dearly reunited.
Private Family Cremation Estates are available at many of our cemeteries including All Saints Cemetery, Gate of Heaven Cemetery, New St. Mary Cemetery, Holy Cross, and Calvary Cemetery. To learn more call 855-MyPrePlan (855-697-7375).
