The number of families opting for cremation has increased. significantly during the past few years. To that end, Glendale continues to adapt to meet this growing trend. While a cremation ceremony can be much like that of a traditional burial ceremony, families have more flexibility both in time and degree of formality.

• Families may customize an individual tribute to their loved ones. Glendale's staff is here to assist you in exploring the many options available in choosing a final resting place.
• Glendale's Chatham Cremorial Gardens, a tree-lined area with a winding path, is the picture of peace and serenity — the perfect setting in which to memorialize those who have chosen cremation. Within the garden, one has the option of a niche or the scattering site.
• A niche is a dignified memorial with which to mark the final resting place. The urn is locked into place within the bronze niche and a bronze scroll, inscribed with the name and dates of the departed, is placed over it.
• The scattering site offers memorialization in a tranquil, beautifully landscaped garden setting. Cremated remains are scattered in the garden and the deceased can be remembered with an inscription of his or her name on a plaque within the garden area. The scattering garden is a dedicated cemetery property, which means that it will never be designated for another use in the future.
• In addition to the Cremorial Gardens, Glendale offers other options for cremation that include columbarium glass front display niches where loved ones can view the urns.
• Our mausoleums offer niches, both indoors and outdoors. You may select a niche to accommodate either one or two urns.
• Cremated remains may also be interred in an existing family plot or in one of Glendale's specially designated, in-ground lots. The loved one's resting place can be marked much in the same way as a traditional burial, with your choice of our approved markers.
• All gardens and grounds are meticulously landscaped, receiving perpetual maintenance and care throughout the year.
• Cremation is accepted by most religious faiths.
• Niches and cremation lots can be pre-arranged with an interest-free payment plan.
