Internment of Ashes
Internment of ashes, also known as the interment of cremated remains, is the process of placing cremated remains in a permanent location, often in a cemetery or memorial site. This provides a place for families and friends to gather, visit and remember their loved ones. Various methods can be used, including burial in a grave, placement in a memorial wall, or scattering in a designated area.
