Cedar Fort committee discusses designated cremation section and urn-placement rules
Summary
Sexton Harry Draper told the committee families often hesitate to buy full burial plots for single urn burials; members discussed using otherwise unusable plots, creating a dedicated cremation section, permitting multiple urn burials in a single area, and allowing use of family plots with permission while updating cemetery policies.
Sexton Harry Draper said that cremation burials are increasingly common and that some families are reluctant to purchase a full burial plot for a single urn. He explained that relatives returning from outside the community often prefer more flexible options than a traditional full plot.
Committee members discussed a range of options: using otherwise unusable plots for cremated remains when appropriate, creating a designated cremation section, permitting multiple urn burials within a single designated area, and allowing the placement of urns in existing family plots when permission is granted. The Committee agreed cremation burials should be evaluated as planning continues and asked staff to review existing policies regarding urn placement and section designation.
