Cremation Services

Washington City now offers an alternative to traditional burial. For those seeking cremation services, we proudly announce the arrival of a new Ossuarium to our community. The word Ossuarium is a combination of two words - Ossuary and Columbarium. It is a receptacle for the ashes of those individuals who have chosen the method of cremation for final disposition. An Ossuarium provides the option for single disposal of remains contained in a specialized, heavy plastic using a depository to access the middle enclosure. However, the Columbarium provides the option of companionship disposal of remains in two individual urns, which are placed together in one niche. Located in the Washington City Cemetery, the Ossuarium is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped garden, and offers a peaceful, beautiful place for remembrance. All community members are encouraged to visit this new addition to our cemetery. Costs and guidelines are available online at WashingtonCity.org/services/cemetery, or at the Washington City Recorder’s Office located at 111 North 100 East, Washington, Utah.
