Good info.

It also contained info. on cremation.

Columbarium / Disposal of Crematoria Remains

The cemetery statutes are silent concerning the disposal of crematoria remains or the development of a columbarium for such disposal or interment. The Department of Health does not believe that there is any public health significance to the disposal of crematoria remains, and therefore does not regulate such disposal or the construction or development of columbaria.

true, but cremated remains do not have the same potential future environmental and land development impacts as a buried body would.
