Did you know that more people in the United States are now choosing cremation over burial for their end-of-life choice? Until 2015, most people chose traditional burial as the final resting place for themselves and their loved ones. A Columbarium, a permanent structure of spaces to hold urns filled with cremated remains, provides a meaningful and personalized way to honor those who have passed away. At Columbarium Planners, we have been at the forefront of the shift in changing funeral trends, and we’ll explore how our columbariums are accommodating these changes.
The significant increase in cremation over the past ten years demonstrates a momentous shift in our culture. There are various personal reasons why more and more people are choosing cremation. Still, one thing remains universally true: Everyone wants to be memorialized and to remember their loved ones in a meaningful way. A columbarium is an ideal final resting place for the cremated remains of those who need a different option than burial, whatever their reason.
A columbarium is a timeless solution to the cultural shift towards cremation. These structures can be built on a church property or at a cemetery in either a larger garden-style setting or a smaller room-style setting. They can be personalized with garden spaces, benches, labyrinths, memorial plaques, and much more. These structures provide a more affordable and flexible option that many Americans need now. Whether you have limited financial means, don't have access to a conveniently located cemetery plot, or need the option to relocate your loved ones' remains in the future, a columbarium may be just what you are looking for.
