Basics You Should Know When Choosing The Right Memorial Park
Choosing a final resting place for oneself or a loved one is a personal decision. This is the location where a person's remains will be interred forever, as well as where friends and family may come to visit and pay respects. Selecting the right memorial park with the look, feel and options that meet one's particular tastes and needs is important.
This type of facility is different from the traditional cemetery mainly in that it caters more towards the needs of those choosing cremation over burial. Though their practice began less than 100 years ago, their popularity has steadily increased. This may be due, in part, to the attractive appeal and flexible interment options.
They are known for their incredibly attractive landscaping designs. The expansive manicured lawns, winding lanes, strategically placed flower beds, luscious trees, statuary, buildings and maybe even a pond fill the facility's land. This combination welcomes guests and gives comfort that their loved ones are surrounded by beauty.
Some people choose cremation yet still desire to be buried in the ground. This can be achieved by placing ones ashes into a plot and capping the spot with a lovely engraved brass plaque which lays flush with the land. Those who wish may also opt for more upright structures such as benches or plinths instead of the flat plates.
Tombs and mausoleums are used for those desiring above ground accommodations. The housing takes many forms such as crypts for individuals, buildings to hold whole families, or walls that can shelter many people at once. With available designs being both ornate and austere, placement of these structures can be anywhere from an open space, within a fenced yard or as part of a garden.
Interment facilities of this sort encourage the living to visit those who reside within. The lush landscape makes it feel like a joyful outing with a missed loved one. All client's personal preferences and financial budgets can be accommodated by the variety of housing options available.
