Awareness of cremation has increased over the past couple decades to the extent that it’s not only acceptable, but in many cases preferred. People select cremation for a number of different reasons.
For some, cremation is considered the last part of the funeral service. Others choose to have their remains interred in the cemetery, above-ground mausoleum, or even placed in a glass niche.
We believe it is important for every person to have a place where they can be remembered. If you or a family member wishes to be cremated, we encourage having the cremated remains placed in the cemetery where future generations can come to visit.
Woodlawn has a long tradition of assisting families with cremation burial and remembrance choices from mausoleum interment to glass niche placement to in-ground burial.
The Cremation Center at Woodlawn
The Cremation Center at Woodlawn offers Central New York families another option for memorializing loved ones. This structure was built to accommodate the growing demand for cremation and host memorial services.
The 7,300 square-foot Cremation Center at Woodlawn offers serene surroundings that provide comfort to family and friends, including beautiful glass niches. A chapel is also available for viewing or services. Cremation continues to grow in popularity as the practice surpassed in-ground burial for the first time just a few years ago. Woodlawn Cemetery has added facilities and services to accommodate such trends over its 140-plus years.
