Awareness of cremation has increased over the past couple decades to the extent that it’s not only acceptable, but in many cases preferred. People select cremation for a number of different reasons.
For some, cremation is considered the last part of the funeral service. Others choose to have their remains buried in a cemetery, above-ground mausoleum interment or even placed in a glass niche.
We believe it is important for every person to have a place where they can be remembered. If you or a family member wishes to be cremated, we encourage them to have a place in a cemetery where future generations can come and visit.
Woodlawn has a long tradition of assisting families with cremation burial and remembrance choices from mausoleum interment to glass niche placement to in-ground burial.
