We all love saving money and finding that great deal, but sometimes those deals come with hidden costs we didn't expect.
With the popularity of cremations these days, people are looking for ways to place the remains in an affordable way. Some choose to spread the cremains, some choose in ground options and some pick above ground niches. Momunent bench niches are becomming a popular choice for families. These benches offer families the ability to place multiple cremains inside of the bench and in the ground in front of it. Unfortunately, there are some families who, for many different reasons, place these creamins without the cemetery's knowledge.
Not only is it against cemetery Bylaws to place cremains in the cemetery, by spreading or inurnment, it is also illegal. Cemeteries are required to record all of the "burials" in the cemetery - even ones that are spread or inurned in niches, no matter how much of the cremains are placed. The legal issues, the moral issues and the logistical issues that the cemetery and families face after these types of placements are just not worth it.
