Post-cremation rituals with an urn?

Cremation is the most common method today. There are no set rules in Estonia. If desired, various rituals can be performed with the urn.

Burial – There are many good reasons to choose cremation, one of which is the limited space required in the cemetery. This allows loved ones to be buried next to each other.

Place of remembrance – you can store the urn at home. This way, you can plan the burial time with your loved ones at a later date.

Ash scattering – if you wish, the ashes can be scattered in a place that is important to you and the deceased. For example, after the ash scattering ritual, you can later bury the urn in the ground. The urn decomposes quickly.
