When you and your family are trying to decide what you’re going to do with a loved one’s cremated remains following their cremation services in Colchester, VT, the idea of burying the remains might not be on your radar at all. But burying a loved one’s remains is actually one of the best options of the bunch when it comes to figuring out what you’re going to do with them. There are quite a few reasons why this might be a good option for you. Learn about why you should consider burying a loved one’s remains below. 


It’ll keep the remains protected for the foreseeable future.


The last thing that you and your family want is for something bad to happen to a loved one’s remains after their Colchester, VT cremation is complete. But that might be what will happen if you don’t do enough to protect them. You can try to stand guard over the remains by keeping them in your home. But a better idea might be to bury them. You won’t have to worry about anything happening to the remains when they’re in the ground in a cemetery. 


It’ll let your loved ones come and visit the remains whenever they want.


In the years to come, some of your family members might want to visit your loved one’s remains from time to time. But it isn’t always going to be super convenient for them to do that when the remains are sitting in someone’s house. It will, however, be easy for your family members to visit the remains when they’re buried in a cemetery. They can visit the remains early and often without having to disturb whoever is keeping the remains in their home. 


It’ll allow your family to design a permanent memorial for your loved one.


Ideally, you and your family should attempt to design a permanent memorial for your loved one if you can. You’ll be able to use this memorial to celebrate your loved one’s life and everything they were able to accomplish. You might not get the chance to create a memorial for your loved one, though, if you do anything other than bury their remains. It isn’t going to make sense for you to come up with a memorial if you’re going to, say, store the remains in your home. 


It’ll stop the remains from ever getting lost.


You might not think that there is any way that you’ll ever lose your loved one’s remains. But it could very well happen. They could get lost if you ever move. They might also get lost in the future when you aren’t around to look after them anymore. This is one more reason why you should consider burying your loved one’s remains in a cemetery. You, your fellow family members, and even future generations of your family will know where your loved one’s remains are at when you stick them in a cemetery for the long haul.
