Today marks something new: the first-ever National Cremation Placement Day.

It's not every year a new tradition begins. This one is about honoring the importance of a dedicated resting place for cremated remains — a niche, memorial garden, or family plot where loved ones can return, remember, and feel close.

We're proud to help families find that place, especially as we mark this first year.
