WHAT WE OFFER

Cremation Memorialization

Cremation has become more and more in demand in recent years across the Chicago area, and Troost Cemeteries offers a variety of options for memorialization and final resting places for your loved ones. Cremation urns may be placed in an above-ground Columbarium Niche, placed above ground in a Private Family Estate within designated gardens, or families may choose from our traditional in-ground burial options.

Families who need to make immediate burial arrangements should begin by completing our intake form. After submitting the form, a customer service representative will be in contact with you.

Choosing Your Arrangements

Private Family Estate

Estates are the perfect choice for those who would choose cremation but would still like to remain together with their family. Cremation Estates are similar to the family estates but instead of a private mausoleum, a private columbarium is used.
We have options that could accommodate as few as two or custom designs that could be as large as a family would choose to build.

Traditional Burial of Cremation Urn

Much like with a casket burial, below-ground cremation burials are available in nearly all sections of our park.
Cremation burials allow for a single grave space to accommodate as many as two loved ones and, in some circumstances, three.

Placement in Columbarium Niche

With this burial option, your loved one’s cremated remains are placed in an urn, which is then placed in a niche, or space in a columbarium. The front of the niche can be personalized with a ceramic porcelain photo and a bronze memorial plaque, and a vase can be installed in front of the columbarium.
We offer individual niches, which are designed to accommodate standard single urns, and companion niches, which are designed to accommodate two urns or urns designed for couples.

Cremation Options FAQ

What is a columbarium niche?

A columbarium niche is a visitable, above-ground space for a single urn, a smaller alternative to a Private Family Estate or in-ground burial.

Pricing depends on niche size and location. Contact your nearest Troost Cemeteries location for details.

Yes. Troost Cemeteries offers traditional in-ground burial for cremation urns, with space for up to two or three loved ones in a single plot.
