Facing the death of a loved one carries so many emotions and often requires time-sensitive decisions. The end-of-life arrangements generally require thought to where you will lay your departed’s remains for the rest of time. Many of us don’t realize just how many options are available, even within the same cemeteries in Columbia, TN.
Pinecrest Memorial Gardens honors the unique needs of individuals and families. Our motto is, “Helping One Family at a Time.” We are prepared with several different options, whether you choose cremation or full casketing of the remains.
For cremation, you may choose any of the following:
● Cremation benches which can house the remains or mark the location where the ashes are buried
● Cremation garden for the scattering of ashes
● Tree memorials, which are a way to nourish a seeding with the buried ashes - you can then watch the tree grow over the years
● A columbarium to deposit the urn
● A niche in a private or communal mausoleum for the ashes
For casketed remains, we offer above and below-ground options. Traditional burial is a beautiful choice for many. We are also proud to offer many pricing levels and options for our mausoleum choices. Families can buy several burial plots in a package (we call these family estates). They can also select private or public, built-to-last mausoleum spaces.

Memorial and Headstone Options
We realize how much it means to families to have a customized memorial marker or gravestone. We offer low and high-profile stones and markers with a wide range of personalizing options. We have bronze and granite materials from which to choose. We will work with you to find just the right marker to honor your loved one.
Permanent Memorialization
Having a place to go to honor the memory of the deceased is an integral part of the healing process after a loved one passes. If the deceased has posterity, it is also a place where descendants will learn about this special person. Especially for those who choose cremation, please consider having a permanent memorial place. Experts agree that this helps the living cope with their loss. Pinecrest Memorial Gardens is honored to be considered when you are searching for cemeteries in Columbia, TN.
