When a loved one is cremated, many families choose a memorial. It provides a lasting place to visit, reflect and remember. Cremation memorials are usually smaller and more flexible than traditional headstones.

What Is a Cremation Memorial
A cremation memorial is any permanent tribute that remembers someone after cremation. It can be placed where the ashes are buried, where they were scattered, or in a garden of remembrance. Some families choose to keep a memorial at home.

Common Types of Cremation Memorial
Memorial plaque or tablet
A small flat stone placed over an ash plot or in a remembrance garden.
Vase or urn marker
A stone vase with an inscription. This is ideal where space is limited.
Wall plaque
A metal or stone plaque placed on a memorial wall.
Bench plaque
A simple plaque on a communal bench in a peaceful location.
