Crowne Vault, the Indiana-based company that is a leading presence in serving the Death Care profession with American-made cremation vaults is supporting a new initiative for the profession that hopes to bring cremated loved ones from the closet or mantle to permanent placement in American cemeteries.

The trademarked program, “At Home to At Rest” supports a broader effort to raise public awareness and give families a better understanding of how permanent placement of cremated remains can be a good decision — not only for the recently cremated but for those remains that may have been cremated some time ago and reside in homes at this time.

Sarah Tepe of Crowne Vault says this about the broader initiative to help families find permanent placement for cremated remains, “It’s not about directing families toward something they don’t need. It’s about helping them complete a decision they may not realize is still unfinished.”

Crowne Vault has made it simple and free-of-charge for your organization to reach those who may have need for a placement service.  Funeral homes and cemeteries can access ready-made and customizable marketing materials from Crowne Vault here.

This is just one example of advertising copy and social media inserts that Crowne Vault has available for funeral homes and cemeteries.

Funeral Director Daily take:  In 2022 the Cremation Association of North America estimated that there were approximately 22 million families with cremated remains in their home.  It was also estimated that there continues to be approximately between 40% and 52% of current cremations that continue to be brought to homes rather than being permanently placed for memorialization.

What to do with those “in home” remains once the caretaker, usually a spouse, dies is an issue survivors have to deal with  — many times without the knowledge of cemetery permanent placement for cremated remains.  Crowne Vault’s “At Home to At Rest” program allows your business to inform the public in a subtle way. . . . and all of the marketing materials are already done for you.
