7/6/2026 - Maine Veterans Cemetery - No Wooden Urns Allowed

We will no longer accept wooden urns for niche inurnments or in-ground cremation interments. Over time, we have encountered structural issues with these types of urns that have affected their long-term durability. We understand that some families may have already purchased wooden urns. We will continue to work with those families on a case-by-case basis to ensure a smooth transition.
