Many families wonder what their options are for the cremated remains of their loved ones.  Is it possible to hold a memorial at Oak Grove Cemetery in La Crosse, WI, even after their loved one has been cremated?  The answer is yes.   There are many ways to honor your loved one.  

Here are a few ideas:

• Earth (In-ground) Burial: Not all cemetery spaces are reserved for traditional casket burials. Cremated remains can also be buried.  Oak Grove Cemetery has many gravesites available and permits up to 4 burials on a family lot, as long as 3 of them are cremation burials.  For more details, please contact the cemetery. 

• Scattering The Ashes: Many families scatter their loved one’s remains in a place with special significance to the deceased. It isn’t a decision to be made lightly, not just because it’s an irrevocable act, but because it’s a potential health hazard: Before scattering the ashes, seek the advice of your funeral director regarding permitted locations.

• Columbariums & Mausoleums:  Niches (above ground spaces for cremated remains)  are available both indoors and outdoors. Oak Grove Cemetery offers urn niches in four areas of the cemetery:   Garden Mausoleum, Historic Mausoleum, Chapel and in the Memorial Park Columbariums.  

• Cremation Urn: Some people prefer to hold on to their loved one’s ashes to keep them close and memorialize them in their home. Oak Grove Cemetery offers a large selection of beautiful urns both in stock and by special order.
