Nyack, United States – August 4, 2017 /PressCable/ —

Travis Monuments in Nyack, NY builds beautiful stone memorials, mausoleums and columbaria. Cremation is on the rise nationally, and New York is no exception. Back in 1963 the Vatican approved cremation but to this day considers that scattering cremated remains is not acceptable, and keeping ashes in an urn at home is also forbidden. The position of the church: Cremated remains should be buried in a cemetery or columbaria, just as a body would be.

In fact, an excerpt from Catholic.org states; ”According to the new guidelines, traditional burial is still preferred, but cremation is an option. When a loved one has been cremated, their ashes must be kept intact, the same as one would treat a body. The ashes may not be separated or scattered. Instead, they should remain in a proper vessel that is interred in a proper place, such as a cemetery or church. Only the bishop can authorize an exception to this storage requirement in extraordinary circumstances.”

Since the Vatican approved cremation, with many rules surrounding this choice, more Catholics today are making the decision to cremate their loved ones. This fact, coupled with a lower cost, has now made cremation a popular option.

In response to the increasing number of cremations for many denominations, cemeteries have been adapting and making changes. They are now offering interment options for cremated remains. Some cemeteries are investing in columbaria, which are like a mausoleum for cremated remains. A columbaria contains niches where urns holding cremated remains are placed. Often, each niche is capable of housing two urns. Due to the Church’s prohibition on keeping cremated remains in the home, many Catholics who cremate their departed invest in a columbarium niche.

One such cemetery adapting to change is Rockland Cemetery, located in Sparkill, NY. Rockland Cemetery is open for burials of all races, denominations and walks of life and is the final resting place of over 12,000 people. With nearly 180 acres remaining for future development, Rockland Cemetery will continue to inter people for many years to come.

Rockland Cemetery has turned to Travis Monuments located in Nyack, NY to build four columbaria structures to house cremated remains in a picturesque setting.
