MEMORIAL WALLs
According to the National Funeral Directors Association, Americans are increasingly choosing cremation over burial, a trend driven by lower costs, fading religious taboos and environmental considerations. Today, almost 75% of Coloradans choose cremation, with many wishing to have their ashes scattered in the majestic Colorado mountains. In partnership with Morris Monument the Lone Tree Cemetery District now offers the option of a wonderful, more affordable way to remember a loved one whose remains or cremains are not buried within the Cemetery.
Choose from one of four beautiful bronze plaque designs in varying sizes and price ranges, customized by you. Your bronze memorial plaque will be permanently mounted on The Aplin Memorial Wall, graciously built and donated to the Lone Tree Cemetery by Simon Aplin of Aplin Masonry.
