Explanation of Other burial types

Other burial types are for use when the remains are not buried in a cemetery and one of these options has been chosen instead.

• Aquamation (Water based process resulting in bones or ashes.)
• Terramation (Natural organic reduction in a controlled environment.)
• Green burial (The body is buried and returns to the earth in a natural environment.)

Use the additional details field to add specific information about the remains (such as scattered ashes, remains kept with family, etc.).

In these burial types as well as cremation, if the remains or ashes are then buried in a cemetery, please add the memorial to the cemetery on Find a Grave.
