Cremation Options
In the historic Huntington Chapel, Green Lawn offers cremation burial in several bronze niche banks. These niches do not require an urn and allows families to honor their loved one with an inside setting in an exquisite, historical building.
Cremation is a growing trend in the United States. Green Lawn Cemetery has a variety of options available for this type of arrangement.

A niche is an above ground container for cremation ashes. It is designed to hold an urn or some other type of heavy container. Urns come in many materials and designs and are very individualized. A niche burial allows the family to have a memorial even though their loved one was cremated, because the deceased's name is on the front of the niche in bronze lettering. So the family has a physical place to visit and to pay their respects to their loved one.
Another type of cremation burial is to bury the cremated remains in the ground. An urn or some other type of container is appropriate in this case as well. Cremation spaces are available in Section 124 and on Green Lawn's Cremation Island. Both allow an in-ground marker for the grave space.
Green Lawn also has installed a bronze Cremorial. This is an entirely enclosed unit that is specially made for cremation burial, but it does not require an urn. This is an option that is nestled in among pine trees, and is a very tranquil location.
