What is an ossuarium? It is a new concept in memorium for cremation burials. The deceased individual's cremains are permanently entombed in a common area within the Columbarium. Names, along with dates of birth and death, are permanently engraved on the granite band encircling the Columbarium.
Engraving: The deceased person's name and dates of birth and death are engraved on the memorial band that encircles the Columbarium. Cost of engraving is $200.
Satin Bag Urns are an ideal choice for entombment in the Ossuarium.. The velvet bags are available from the cemetery in a number of colors. Each is embroidered with the individual's name and dates. Sealed plastic bags and small cremation containers provided by the crematory service are also acceptable.
