Why a Columbarium Memorial is Important?



Cremation is a practice whereby the body is burned in a crematorium or on a pyre. The cremains are then carefully conserved and stored in urns that are placed in a columbarium niche or scattered in meaningful locations. People choose cremation for traditional or personal reasons. For those who may wish to be cremated, this doesn't mean that they do not want to be memorialized. Memorializing your loved one with a columbarium niche not only marks a beautiful place of remembrance.

Columbaria- Bring Your Families Back To The Cemetery



The columbarium is fast becoming that artistic feature in a cemetery that draws people back. A beautifully designed landscape can affect the emotional experience of visitors by capturing their imagination and appealing to their senses. By using the columbarium as a decorative form and setting it amongst a complimentary landscape, a revitalization of interest in the cemetery can occur. Today, changes are being thrust upon cemeteries due to new cremation trends. In order to stay relevant in this new changing cremation market, cemeteries are realizing the importance of investing in their properties like never before. The cemetery is struggling to define itself in this new cremation world. This is why it is imperative to consider the positive influence a custom c can have on attracting the cremation customer.

How to Use Unused Sections of A Cemetery


Memorial Walls are ideal for unused sections of a cemetery while adding prominence to memorialization. Recently, cemeteries have introduced designated areas to scatter cremated remains. Those whose ashes have been scattered in the garden are remembered on a special wall or plaque where their names and dates are memorialized. The scattering of cremated remains may be done in a natural setting, a designated area or in water (in accordance with state laws). Memorial walls and plaques act as a permanent reminder to families and friends of a life once lived. Sunset’s custom manufacturing ability enables us to build memorial walls and columbaria to meet your exact site specifications and aesthetic design.

These situations are natural, and every family’s emotional needs are unique. We focus on helping families through the process with compassionate care. We respect the individual needs of our clients and do our best to help them during this very difficult time.
