This interesting article appeared in the FT by Daniel Cohen in
The article covers the issues faced in many of the cemeteries in Britain and how many of the providers are coping with the increasing demand for burial plots while availability remains static. With the unexpected demands arising from the Covid-19 crises we wonder if the available stock of remaining plots is sufficient to meet the demand to the dates mentioned in the article.
We also have seen a rise in demand for home use memorials for families wishing to keep there loved ones cremated remains at home. some of the reasons given for such a derision are :
Cost increase in acquiring a cemetery plot have risen beyond what many families can comfortably afford
Mobility of families mean that visiting a cemetery plot can sometimes be impracticable
Capacity of the burial plot can often limit the number of interments that is possible
Dual use allows pet parents the ability to place pet cremation urns along with their owners in the same memorial.
At Urn Towers we have developed a memorial product which offers families a new choice when it comes to memorializing their loved ones who choose cremation for both their loved ones and pet companions. The Urn Tower accommodates several cremation urns of both humans and/or pets. Can be extended if required. Being an above ground memorial vault can move with you if that is ever required.
About Urn Towers Ltd. Urn Towers is an Irish company which was founded in response to the increasing popularity in cremation and where there are limited choices for families to place their loved ones ash remains in a cemetery of choice. Manufactured in Ireland, the Urn Tower Memorial Vault now offers families the ability to have an individual, flexible and affordable cremation memorial option. For facility providers the Urn Tower Memorial Vault allows them to use ground not previously considered suitable for interment and to now extend the operating life of their facilities without the need for large capital investments and at the same time meet the increasing demand for cremation only options.
