Fort Howard Cremation Burial Options
Cremation:
Often, when the choice is cremation, the perception is that the cremation process
is the final step in the process. This does not need to be the case; when cremation
is chosen, a final, permanent resting place allows for the life to be memorialized
for immediate family as well as future generations. This permanency is the pillar
of memories, communities and recognizing the significance for the individual's
life as it was lived.
BURIAL
OPTIONS
- Interior
glass or bronze front niches - Located in various areas throughout
the Memorial Chapel building, these areas allow a prominent display of creative
urns which can reflect individual personalities. The niches accommodate
personal mementos which can be memorabilia. Fort Howard offers a large variety
of cremation urns, including artwork urns, to fit within the niches.
Granite
front niches - Located on both the interior and exterior of the
mausoleum building, granite front niches offer a secure and dignified way
to permanently place an urn within a beautiful building. These niches can
be personalized with bronze photo emblems and/or floral remembrances.
- Granite
cremation benches or memorial rocks - these memorials can be added
to many different areas
of the cemetery (with management approval)
as a way to add burial options or to enhance areas where traditional burials
cannot be performed. Cored holes
are
integrated into the granite, allowing a concealed area for cremated remains
to be permanently placed.
- Inurnment
within traditional grave space - regular spaces throughout the
entire park can be used for burial of cremated remains. Standard memorials
can be installed just as they would be for traditional ground burial. Fort
Howard allows two cremated remains to be inurned within one standard space.
Community
Columbarium - a premium area within the Memorial Chapel building
has converted regular crypt space into an economic choice for permanent
cremation entombment. Multiple names are memorialized on a custom cast bronze
front.
