Introduction
In-ground cremation is like a traditional casket interment for those who are cremated, and offers a lot more flexibility than traditional burials.
Chilliwack Cemeteries offers several in-ground cremation areas, all with their own unique locations and specifications.
Markers can vary depending on the area not only in how they are set, but also the materials, size and pattern.
Most areas are suitable for up to two sets of cremated remains to be situated in a double vault.
We do highly recommend that, in the case of a double cremation vault, you can choose an urn made of impenetrable materials such as metal, stone or plastic.
We would be more than happy to discuss your options with you.
Cremation Options
Having a permanent site for cremated remains will give your loved ones a physical place to visit and remember, as well as giving future generations a special place to visit and get in touch with their heritage.
