Cremated human remains, as so referred to as cremains, may be interred in the ground or placed in a niche or columbarium.
Cremation means a step in the preparation of human remains through a process of heat and evaporation whereby the body is reduced to its basic elements: bone fragments , not ashes.
Cremated human remains are returned in a plastic or tin non decorative container. Often the survivors prefer to place the remains in a decorative urn before inurnment or burial.
The opening and closing of fee, often referred to as the inurnment fee, is a separate charge that is not included in the cost of the burial space or niche. For interment fee information, click here.
The cost of cremation process itself and the services of a funeral director to transport the deceased and comply with Pennsylvania regulation is a separate charge not included in the price of the burial space or niche.
