Losing a loved-one is beyond difficult. There is no defined period or kind of mourning that you should experience. In many families, cremation services are the best choice for holding the memory of your loved one close to your heart. As generations pass on, however, it can be a struggle to come to terms what is appropriate to do with family urns. Oak Grove Cemetery is there to help you during this process.

Before you ever make a decision, you should talk to your family and make a group decision. Just as funeral planning is a family decision, taking care of urns also deserves to be agreed upon by the group. There are a few options when it comes to turning your family member’s urn into an appropriate grave monument.

• Burial: Urns that have been kept in the family for generations can find an appropriate grave marker in a cemetery burial. Burial provides your family member with a lasting and protected resting place and mitigates concerns about disrespect, urn loss, or forgotten memories.
• Mausoleum: If you prefer, the lasting resting place of your family urn can be a beautiful above-ground mausoleum. Mausoleums are beautiful buildings that allow you to hold your family’s name and memory close to your heart.

No matter what you decide to do with your family urn, Oak Grove Cemetery can hold a burial service and offer pre-arrangement counseling to help you deal with the difficult realities of death.
