Ground Burial for Cremation
At Hills of Rest Cemetery we require that the cremation urn be placed in an
outside burial container, or in other words, a cremation
vault. The vault's purpose is to withstand the pressure
of the earth so that over time the grave will not
collapse. We sell the Harmony Urn Vault; a lined and sealed outside container made of
concrete. It is large enough to accommodate almost any
sized cremation urn, pictures or other small mementos.
We allow up to two inurnments into the same grave space. If a second person is to be
inurned into the same space, a second right of inurnment must be purchased for the double use of the grave space.
Hills of Rest Cemetery allows one exception to the requirement of
the use of a cremation vault. That exception is the placement of
the cremated remains into a cremation marker receptacle. See the
illustration at the bottom of the page.
Hills of Rest Cemetery does not allow scattering of cremated remains within the cemetery
