        <Name>Cremation Can Be Planned in Advance of Need</Name>
        <Summary>Pre-Planning is Not Limited to Ground Burial</Summary>
        <Description>
&lt;P&gt;If you are among the growing number of Americans selecting cremation as an 
alternative to ground burial, it's important to note that you can pre-plan you 
service and memorialization just as you can for ground burial or mausoleum 
entombment.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Cremation is merely an act of preparing the body for final disposition.&amp;nbsp; 
It's a step in the process that is only complete when the individual is 
memorialized.&amp;nbsp; There are more options for cremation&amp;nbsp;memorialization 
than the other two types of disposition combined.&amp;nbsp; Choices include:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Urns that can be taken home or placed in a cemetery niche&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Niches with glass fronts &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Columbaria&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In-ground memorials with canisters for placement of the cremated remains&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Scattering gardens with memorialization plaques&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;To learn more about the options available, contact a CMS-affiliated 
property.&amp;nbsp; To find a property near you, visit our website, &lt;A
