Cremation Society of Virginia

Urns

Most families desire some form of permanent memorial to the deceased. Some families choose to place the cremated remains of their loved one in a decorative and personal urn that commemorates the life lived.

Urn Vaults

State or local law does not require that you buy a container to surround the urn in the grave. However, many cemeteries require that you have such a container so that the grave will not sink in. Either a grave liner or a burial vault will satisfy these requirements.

Keepsakes

Family members or special friends often want to memorialize their loved ones by retaining a small portion of the cremated remains. A variety of small keepsake urns and pendants are available for this purpose. Keepsake urns are manufactured from the same materials as regular urns and are often available as a matching set to the permanent urns selected. Keepsake pendants are crafted by jewelers as tokens to be worn. They are generally made out of gold, silver, brass or pewter.

Acknowledgment Cards and Guest Registers - Coming Soon!

Families may wish to keep a record of those who came to honor their loved one at the memorial service with a beautiful Guest Register. Acknowledgement Cards can be sent after the service as a thank you for joining in the remembrance or sending condolences.

Garden and Cemetery Memorials

Garden and cemetery memorials provide a unique method of remembering a loved one. The Sundial and Fountain are suitable for placement in a cherished courtyard or garden, whether at home or a church, or other special place. The memorial benches may be placed in a variety of places, such as a garden, cemetery, even near a tee box on a favorite golf course. These memorials provide a meaningful alternative to burial or scattering of cremated remains and provide a lasting tribute to a life well lived.
