Cremation gardens are now an essential interment facility in North American cemeteries. The relatively small site requirements and physical flexibility of cremation allows great variety in design and marketing. The economic value of a well-designed garden can be many times greater than a traditional burial section, while the service and maintenance costs are lower.
