Burial urn with ashes

In the current realities, the method of burying the deceased by cremation is becoming more and more common, after which the ashes of the deceased are placed in a special satin bag and placed in a prepared urn for burial. However, it is very important to decide in advance where the remains will be stored, since in order to receive them in the crematorium, you will need to present a permit confirming that you ordered and paid for a cell in the cemetery or in the columbarium.

Where urns with ashes are buried

In cemeteries, there are specially designated places for burying vessels with ashes in the ground. They have a smaller area and some features compared to ordinary graves. However, it should be noted that there are certain rules and requirements for their design, including the following points:

Lack of high and large fences.
Regulated type and size of gravestones.
The coordinated shape of the tombstones.

Also, it is important to understand that not all modern cemeteries have special places where it is possible to bury an urn with ashes. In such cases, the usual place is allocated and, as a result, the above rules and requirements do not apply to it, which means that the relatives of the deceased can arrange the grave in the same way as a traditional burial, without limiting themselves in erecting a monument, a fence and a cross.
Also, in some cemeteries there are special walls for placing vessels with remains (columbaria), however, the procedure for burying an urn with ashes in the ground is less expensive. Moreover, it is important to take into account that many cemeteries do not have specially designated structures at all.
But everything is much easier when you have a related burial. It is a special area on the territory of the cemetery, where one of the close relatives is already buried. In this case, there is no need to purchase a separate area. As a rule, with a related burial, a special sanitary period is valid, which is at least 15 years. It implies that before its expiration, new burials on the site are prohibited, but this rule does not apply to urns. In addition, several vessels can be installed in one area, since they do not require a lot of space.

Burial permit for an urn with ashes

Before proceeding to the list of permitting documents for the burial of an urn with ashes, you need to take care of all the previous steps. To begin with, if the body of the deceased is going to be cremated, then his relatives need the following papers:

Receipt of payment for crematorium services (issued in the same place).
Identity card (passport) of the funeral organizer.
Stamp certificate (issued at the MFC branch).
Agreement on the implementation of the procedure for the cremation of the remains.
Certificate “of no objection to cremation” from the RF IC (required only if death occurred in an unnatural way).

To pick up the vessel with the remains from the crematorium, you will need the following list of documents:

Certificate of death (issued by the registry office).
The identity card (passport) of the picker.
Certificate on the implementation of cremation.

It is important to note that the vessels will be stored in the crematorium storage for a whole year. During this period, you can pick up the remains of the deceased without any restrictions.
The dimensions of the urn with the ashes, issued in the crematorium, range from 10 to 19 centimeters in diameter and 15 to 32 centimeters in height. However, in practice, the crematorium can use a variety of vessels, which is fraught with extremely unpleasant consequences. For example, the size of the urn may be larger than the permissible size of the columbarium niche. In this case, the administration of the cemetery will simply refuse placement. In order to prevent such situations, you should know in advance about the size of the urn for human ashes. However, ideally, this issue is best solved by purchasing a vessel on your own.

The burial of the vessel after the cremation procedure is carried out subject to the provision of the following documents:

Cremation certificate.
Identity card (passport) of the person taking the urn.
Stamp death certificate.
Certificate stating that there is free space in the cemetery or in the niche of the columbarium (issued by the cemetery administration).

Only on the basis of certificates of cremation of the body and a document of death, relatives are issued with a special certificate of burial of the urn, and then all the information is entered into a special registration book. The vessel is installed in the niche of the columbarium by a special cemetery worker, after which the relatives can lay flowers on the grave.

How much does it cost to bury an urn with ashes

To begin with, in order to understand how much it costs to bury an urn with the ashes of the deceased in a grave, ground or columbarium, you need to understand that the final cost will be calculated from a huge number of related factors, ranging from the choice of an organization for the provision of funeral services and ending with the choice of one or another cemetery.
According to the laws of the Russian Federation, absolutely every person is guaranteed a free land plot for burial, but there is no talk of a free columbarium. Therefore, in order to determine in detail the pricing procedure, you must directly contact the administration of the cemetery you are interested in.
However, it should be noted that the cost of burying an urn in the ground in a cemetery is much lower than for a coffin. As a rule, digging a small grave costs about 2,000 rubles, but if you are interested in the possibility of placing a vessel in a sarcophagus or crypt, then the price increases from 2,600 rubles. Of course, there are also more expensive options. That is why, to find out the final price list, you need to contact the administration of a particular cemetery and ask questions directly to its employees.
