What is the proper terminology for placing cremated remains into a final container?

  1. Interment

  2. Inurnment

  3. Entombment

  4. Cremated Remains Interment

The correct answer is: Inurnment

Inurnment refers specifically to the process of placing cremated remains into a container, such as an urn. This term is distinct from others used in burial and memorial contexts. Interment typically applies to the burial of casketed remains in the ground, while entombment refers to the placement of remains in a mausoleum or similar structure above ground. The term "Cremated Remains Interment" is somewhat redundant since inurnment specifically deals with cremated remains. Understanding these definitions helps clarify that inurnment is the most appropriate term for the action of placing cremated remains into a final container.
