Clarification on yesterday’s cremation burial video.

We received a lot of questions about cemetery regulations, so we’re providing some additional context. Rules regarding the burial of cremated remains can vary by cemetery, state, and local jurisdiction.

As always, check with your cemetery and local authorities regarding any specific requirements in your area.
