Learn @ Lakewood: Considering Cremation?

More than half of all Americans are now choosing cremation, and even more in Minnesota -- probably including people you know. Why has it become so popular? What options are available? And what are some of the new and more permanent ways to create a lasting memorial, beyond an urn on a shelf?

Join us for this free educational seminar at Lakewood to learn about cremation, including its history, the process, answers to common questions and what to consider when choosing cremation.

We'll tour Lakewood's historic and new crematories, located in the lower level of the beautiful Lakewood Chapel, where more than 1,300 cremations are performed each year. And we'll visit a few sites, indoor and out, where Lakewood has created space for preserving ashes in perpetuity.
