What To Expect When Finding A Memorial Park
The choice of where one would like their final resting place to be depends primarily on personal tastes. This will not only be where one's remains will be housed, but also where loved ones will come to pay respects. It is important to find a memorial park that looks and feels comfortable and offers interment options to fit an individual's own tastes and needs.
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.
One of the first things people notice about these places is their beautiful landscape designs. They are meant to feel pleasant and comfortable with meandering trails, well placed flower beds, ponds, a variety of trees and structures that are attractive and pleasing to see. These elements combined create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages.
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.
These facilities offer a person the chance to spend their eternity in a place which welcomes their loved ones for visits. The landscaping is meant to be calming, pleasant and inspiring. Clients of all financial and personal taste ranges should be able to find what they desire among the many structural designs available for housing the urns.
