Did you know that cremated remains can often be buried in an existing grave space?

This option, commonly referred to as Second Rights, allows an urn containing cremated remains to be buried above a loved one who has already been laid to rest in a traditional full-body burial. It can be a meaningful way for family members to remain together while also making use of an existing burial space.

Many families choose Second Rights because it:
✔ Keeps loved ones together in one place
✔ Provides a permanent space for remembrance and reflection
✔ May be a more affordable alternative to purchasing an additional grave space

If you're considering cremation and would like to be laid to rest alongside a spouse, parent, or other loved one, Second Rights may be an option worth exploring. Our team is here to answer your questions and help you understand the choices available to your family. Contact us today to learn more.

The American Legion came out today to pay tribute to the Spanish-American War veterans laid to rest at Arlington Cemetery ahead of Memorial Day. At the same time, our local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops participated in their annual tradition of placing flags on veteran graves.

Between Arlington and Elm Lawn, more than 600 flags were placed.

This year’s timing brought both groups together, allowing the Legion and Scouts to share in a powerful and meaningful act of remembrance and service.
