Q: What is the advantage of pre-arranging and/or pre-funding my cemetery plans?

Planning ahead can help you reach goals, ease worries and save money. It eases the decision making burden for loved ones and helps ensure family members know your views and wishes. Planning ahead also allows you the opportunity to compare the many options available and to agree upon those that best fit the needs of you and your family.

Q: What are some considerations for scattering?

We understand why some people value scattering as a means of final disposition; however, there are important considerations that should be recognized before a decision is made. If scattering occurs in an undeveloped area it is important to note that it may be developed in the future or the land use may change, making it difficult for survivors to visit. Having a permanent place to visit is an important component of healthy grief resolution and the healing process. Roselawn Memorial Park is currently developing a scattering garden to meet the needs of survivors by providing the option to ceremoniously scatter the cremated remains of a loved one, while providing a permanent memorial that will provide current and future generations the opportunity to honor loved ones.
