US 12,661,295 B2 · Interment cylinder

Abstract

An interment cylinder includes a tube for cremation urns and a lid with attachment hardware. The tube has a weighted structure or base and a flanged collar. The collar mouth accesses an interior of the tube. The lid conforms to the mouth and aligns with the flange. The attachment hardware is threaded through the flange and the lid to re-openably seal the tube. An interment apparatus includes an encasement body with a first face and one or more interment cylinders. The first face has lifting grips and the mouth of the tube is accessible from the first face. A method for interring cremains in a gravesite includes embedding the interment apparatus within a gravesite, using the lifting grips to manipulate the interment apparatus; loading the cremains into the tube; and installing the lid and attachment hardware to seal the tube. The cremains may be cremated, aquamated, resomated, and/or bio-cremains.
