Oftentimes, when someone chooses cremation over traditional burial methods, it’s because they don’t want to be interred underground. Regardless of the reason for selecting cremation, there are several ways to honor and memorialize decedents who have opted to be cremated.
Cremation monuments, like other types of cemetery markers, are typically made of high-quality granite. There are a variety of cremation stone styles to choose from; cremation stones are available in both large and small sizes. Here are just some of the most popular types of cremation monuments in Phillipsburg, Warren County, and Lopatcong, NJ:
