National Cremation Placement Day is this Saturday.

If a loved one's ashes are still in your care, you are invited to learn about permanent placement in a welcoming, respectful setting.

Come with questions. Explore your options. Take the next step only if it feels right.
A guided tour with a counselor activates a $500 credit toward cemetery property. If you choose to move forward, apply the credit to your selection and pay the remaining balance over time while your loved one's ashes remain respectfully placed in the crypt.

No purchase is necessary to participate.

Cemeteries have changed greatly throughout history. During the 1800s, the rural cemetery movement introduced larger grounds with trees, pathways, and carefully planned landscapes.

These spaces gave families a dedicated place to remember loved ones while preserving local history for future generations. Today, many cemeteries still reflect that influence through their architecture and surrounding grounds. 🍃

During the 19th century, these spaces often included landscaped grounds and walking paths where visitors could spend time in nature while remembering loved ones. That tradition can still be seen today in the peaceful grounds and carefully maintained landscapes of many cemeteries.
