Cremation Memorials

Cremation opens many paths to a permanent place of remembrance — a compact marker above an urn space, a small upright, a bench with an inurnment chamber, a natural boulder or a niche plaque. Whatever the form, a cremation memorial gives family and friends somewhere lasting to visit and remember.

A lasting place to visit and remember

Many families who choose cremation still want a permanent memorial — a place to bring flowers, to gather on anniversaries, to feel close. Cremation memorials take nearly every form: flat and bevel markers over urn burial spaces, compact uprights, benches and boulders that hold cremated remains, and plaques for columbarium niches. Cemetery cremation gardens often have their own size and material guidelines, which we help review before designing.

Personalization options vary by memorial form and cemetery. We can help review published requirements and identify the details that should be confirmed before the design is finalized.

Available styles, dimensions, materials and finishes may vary by cemetery section. Cemetery rules vary by location and section. Final dimensions, materials, finishes, foundations and installation requirements must be confirmed with the cemetery before production. Stone House can help your family review available information and coordinate questions with the cemetery before production.
