Mausoleum Niches, Brass & Glass Niches, Columbarium Niches
Similar in design to that of a mausoleum, columbarium niches offer secure protection, are clean and dry, and the burial containers inurned do not come in contact with the earth. These niches come in single or companion packages. The Mausoleum and Columbarium Niches have granite front covers with bronze plaques for memorialization. The Brass and Glass Niches are located inside Rudge Chapel, where families may visit indoors all year round.

Cremation Benches and Monuments
Cremation benches have space where cremated remains may be interred. The benches and Monuments can be engraved with the individual names, dates and carvings to make the memorial more personal. One of the biggest advantages to cremation benches and monuments is the financial savings from not needing to purchase outer burial containers.

Cremation flush memorials
Cremated remains are placed into secured and inverted protective canisters that are attached to the marker. Many different designs are available in both bronze and granite to personalize the memorial. Interring the cremated remains into the flush marker provides financial savings of unneeded purchases.

Back to Nature Cremation Rocks
Cremation rocks have a special cavity cored into a granite boulder where cremated remains are placed inside with a secured bronze memorial cover plate overtop. This type of memorial has seen a growing demand from those who want to return to nature. These rocks are placed within tree groupings or plant and flower beds for a unique back to natural setting.

Scattering
Families may choose to scatter the remains at the base of a tree in the Garden area or on an existing Family lot. Scattering of remains offers many different scenarios and options for memorialization, either through a memorial tree or a more traditional marker.

Ground burial
Cremated remains may be interred in the ground just like a traditional casket burial. A cremation burial vault is required to protect the urn and prevent ground sinkage when ground burial is chosen. The advantage in cremation burial is the cost savings differential in products and services compared to a full size casket burial.

When the choice comes to cremation, there is limitless combination of options from which to select from. These combinations can be tailored to ensure reflective personalization without losing the proper respect and dignification that is expected.
