Burial
In the past, the burial of bodies or ashes involved burying them in what was known as a “grave”. Today, a host of options are available:
Burial of a body
The casket may be placed:
- In the ground in a plot
- In a concrete crypt in a garden setting (in the ground)
- In a crypt (also called “tomb”) inside a mausoleum
Burial of ashes
The urn may be placed:
- In the ground in a plot
- In the niche of a columbarium inside a mausoleum (cemetery)
- In the niche of an outdoor columbarium (cemetery)
- At the base of a commemorative tree (cemetery)
- Inside a columbarium bench (cemetery)
- In a columbarium in a funeral complex
Scattering of ashes
The ashes can also be scattered in a family plot, in a registered cemetery garden plot, at the base of a memorial or commemorative tree or at any other site chosen by the family and permitted by law.
