Frequently Asked Questions
They are a modern alternative to a traditional cemetery with two locations in the Denver Metro area. Unlike a traditional cemetery, The Cremation Gardens are designed to resemble the natural beauty of the State of Colorado. As you walk through the pathways, you feel as though you are actually in a public nature park, filled with flowers, water features, boulders and foliage, all cared for and designed to create a special place of comfort and remembrance for families.
No! It is not unusual for families, after some time has passed, to decide to have a permanent place for their loved one.
Many people select a burial option for their loved one’s cremated remains. There are many sites throughout The Cremation Gardens designed expressly for the burial of cremated remains.
Yes. We have many options for this, including cenotaphs and memorial walls.
Generally speaking, we are less costly than a traditional cemetery. One of our well-trained cemeterians will be happy to explain all your options to you.
