In Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park, a free permit is required from the Chief Ranger’s Office. The state of Colorado recommends checking city and county regulations and zoning rules before scattering on public land, such as in a city park. Those who scatter ashes have to do their homework, however. If remains are commingled with other deceased residents’ in an ossuary vault at Grandview, the cost is $597, including a name engraved on granite panels near the vault.Įven with all the options, Bohlender said he’s seeing an increasing number of people forgo cemeteries altogether. Interment following cremation costs $765 in Fort Collins. It does not include a headstone, casket, embalming, memorial service or any other funeral costs. The fee includes a 51/2-foot deep, 10-foot-by-4-foot space. The city charges $1,519 for a traditional east-west facing grave. As do those who want their cremated remains above ground in niches or the cemetery rock garden.įORT COLLINS: $980K brownstones planned in Old Town Married couples who want the traditional side-by-side burial - husband on the left, wife on the right - also pay more. Those like the Bohlenders who purchase crypts at Grandview pay higher fees to the city. The main thing driving the increase in cremation is the cost, Bohlender said, adding, “It’s pretty hard to have a burial under $10,000.” He and his family operate the Bohlender Funeral Chapel in Fort Collins. “I’ve been here for 25 years, and that ratio has probably flipped during that time,” Gary Bohlender said. The city estimates 60 percent to 70 percent of residents are cremated. The city cannot reach owners or heirs in these situations.Īnother space saver for Grandview is the rise in cremation rates in Northern Colorado. The cemetery can also periodically preserve space by reclaiming unused spaces purchased 75 years ago. People choosing Resthaven may extend the life of Grandview.
“We’re starting to see a lot more Fort Collins (clients) especially as Grandview is starting to fill up,” Wolfe said. Since 1959, Resthaven has performed about 6,895 burials at the northeast corner of U.S. The cemetery, owned by the Allnutt Funeral Service, has about about 15 acres developed and another 14 to work with. “We have so many options that we can offer to our families that (other cemeteries) can’t,” Wolfe said. LARIMER COUNTY: Two PSD candidates paid Larimer Dems for campaign help Resthaven allows customers to landscape build-to-suit and private estates. But maybe it will,” Resthaven Chief Operating Officer Kevin Wolfe said. We’re saying green burial probably won’t take off. “Years ago they said cremation will never take off. Just south of Fort Collins, Resthaven Memorial Gardens is considering following the trend. The 68-year-old Roselawn Cemetery can offer at least one thing Grandview can’t: “green burial” spaces for bio-degradable caskets or blanket-wrapped bodies. “It will take many more decades to rival the beauty of Grandview for sure.” “Easily within the next decade we’ll be out of space at Grandview Cemetery and along those lines we’re working hard at Roselawn Cemetery to make sure it develops its own character and beauty,” Williams said.
