What's the difference between burial and interment? The difference comes down to whether your loved one's body has been cremated or not. Burial is the process of burying a person's non-cremated body, whereas interment involves putting a person's cremated ashes in a permanent resting place.

In Texas, any person wishing to cremate a body must first obtain authorization from the county medical examiner's office. This is done by providing the office with a death certificate and a completed cremation authorization form.

Interment of ashes refers to cremated remains being buried in the ground or placed in a columbarium. A columbarium is a building specially designed to hold ashes. Interment is ideal for people who do not wish for their ashes to be scattered or displayed in the home.

There are no state laws in Texas prohibiting home burial, but local governments may have rules governing private burials. Before burying a body on private property or establishing a family cemetery, you should check with the county or town clerk for any zoning laws you must follow.

Interment is the placing of a corpse in a grave. If a loved one dies, you need to make arrangements for the interment so that people can bid the deceased farewell. Interment comes from root words meaning "to place inside," and in this case it's the placing of someone inside the earth, for burial.

Interment right means the right to place individual human remains or cremated human remains in a specific underground location selected by a consumer for use as a final resting place.
