Cremation urns and vaults

Cremation urns and urn vaults are items you may purchase directly from Lakewood with your cremation niche or property, depending on the cremation memorial option you choose. Lakewood staff can help you make these purchases.

Choosing an urn
A cremation urn is a container used to hold cremated remains. Lakewood requires a permanent cremation urn for entombment in niches (compartments inside a columbarium).

Lakewood can help you choose from a large variety of urn shapes, colors and materials including bronze, stainless steel and marble. Some materials, such as bronze, can be engraved. The photos on this page represent a few of your options – Lakewood offers many choices.

Choosing an urn vault
An urn vault is a container that is placed in a grave to hold the urn. Urn vaults protect the urn from the elements, and help keep the ground above from sinking in over time.

Urn vaults are available in a variety of materials and some can be customized with an emblem or engraving. You also have the option of placing memorabilia in the urn vault with the urn. The photos on this page represent samples of your options – Lakewood offers many choices.

Convenient and affordable at Lakewood
