*Sky-View would like to introduce our new*
Family Columbarium

Have you ever had a conversation with your family about death and how you wish to be interred? Are you interested in following traditional burial practices or are you leaning more towards the idea of cremation? Have you ever considered purchasing a family columbarium?

The family columbarium is a new concept in many North American cemeteries. Like a traditional family crypt or tomb (which is designed for full body burial), the family columbarium is designed to inter family cremains in a smaller more personalized niche structure. Some families prefer this cremation interment option to in-ground burial or the larger commercial columbaria now offered in many cemeteries.

Something you may not have considered, is that the family columbarium in some cases can be more economical than traditional in-ground burial, as some standard family columbaria are designed to hold up to 8 urns. Only one plot needs to be purchased. Only one monument (the columbarium) needs to be purchased. Onsite engravings or bronze plaques can be added to the columbarium as needed.

Steeped in family tradition and true devotion, relatives often chose to be interred within close proximity to one another. The connections we have with family runs deep. Holding onto those close ties is now possible for those who choose above ground cremation interment. For many, the family columbarium is an ideal interment option. As the trend towards cremation continues to increase, consider a custom or standard family columbarium to memorialize “The Family”.

Celebrate Giving Tuesday with Wreaths Across America!

This year, GIVING TUESDAY, is the last day to sponsor Wreaths in time for this year’s Wreaths Across America Ceremony at Sky-View Memorial Park, Inc. in Tamaqua, PA.

Please consider this as our last plea to consider a wreath sponsorship for a veteran this holiday season.

What does it mean to sponsor a wreath?

It means you are supporting a yearlong mission to Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, and Teach the next generation the value of freedom. Your sponsorship will support the new and existing programs developed to share the mission. And, it will place a wreath to honor an American hero at one of more than 3,700 participating locations this year on National Wreaths Across America Day – a day set aside to lay gathers as Americans with the same goal.

We can’t do that without your support, though. Your sponsorship will ensure a hand-crafted wreath of all-American balsam and hand-tied with a red velvet bow in Columbia Falls, Maine. It will then be sent to one of our participating locations, where a volunteer will place it on the marker of a hero. That volunteer will then “say their name” to ensure that the legacy of duty, service, and sacrifice is never forgotten.

So, what does it mean to sponsor a wreath? It means you have the opportunity to join a grateful nation in saying “thank you” to those who stepped up to serve.
