Benefits of Putting Remains in a Cremation Niche

Aaron-Ruben-Nelson Mortuary • December 12, 2022

Is your family unsure of what you would like to do with a loved one's cremated remains following their cremation services in Indianapolis, IN ? Well, there definitely won't be any shortage of options. You can take a loved one's remains home and put them on display. You can also bring the remains to a special place and scatter them there. But another good option would be to put the remains in a cremation niche located in a columbarium in a cemetery. Here are some of the benefits of going with this option. 

It'll protect your loved one's remains for years to come.

If you opt to bring a loved one's remains home with you after their Indianapolis, IN cremation, you're going to be responsible for keeping them safe. And you might not be able to do this if your home ever sustains a fire, a flood, or another weather-related event. You might also not be able to stop an accident that causes your loved one's remains to get spilled from happening. The only surefire way to keep your loved ones remains safe would be by placing them in a cremation niche where they won't be disturbed. 

It'll prevent your loved one's remains from ever going missing. 

You might not have to worry too much about your loved one's remains getting lost in the immediate aftermath of their cremation. But as time goes on, the chances of them going missing will increase. Once you're not around anymore to keep an eye on them, they might get misplaced at some point and disappear forever. You can ensure that this doesn't ever happen by sticking the remains into a cremation niche from the start. 

It'll put your loved one's remains in a place that will be easy for your family to visit.  

If you have all of your loved one's remains in your home or the home of another family member, it's going to make it difficult for your entire family to visit them whenever they would like. It's going to be inconvenient for both you and them to have to congregate in one person's home to see the remains. You can provide your family with a better place to gather to visit your loved one by putting their remains in a cremation niche. 

It'll provide you with a chance to create a permanent memorial for your loved one's remains.  

Ideally, your family should try to create a permanent memorial for a loved one's remains if you can. It's a great way to celebrate a loved one's life and teach future generations about one of their family members from the past. You may not get the opportunity to design a permanent memorial for a loved one if you keep their remains in your home. But you will be able to do it when you place their remains in a cremation niche. It's one more good reason to go in this direction when your family is deciding what to do with a loved one's remains.
