Abandoned Urns: Confronting the Hidden Crisis in Cremation Memorialization
October 15 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT
Join us on October 15 2026 at 2:00 PM ET for Abandoned Urns: Confronting the Hidden Crisis in Cremation Memorialization, an ICCFA Webinar led by Honnalora Hubbard, Regional Sales Manager at Coldspring. 
Across the country, millions of cremated remains sit in closets, basements, and storage—never given a permanent resting place. These abandoned urns are not just forgotten containers; they represent a growing crisis in how we honor, heal, and preserve the legacies of those we love. Families are left without closure. Stories go untold. Grief is left unanchored.
This session delivers the answer to this crisis. Through powerful insights, practical strategies, the implementation of a National Cremation Placement Day, and a call to action, it shows how we can move families from hesitation to healing—ensuring that every life entrusted to us is given the dignity of a permanent place of peace. You will leave with the tools, conviction, and urgency needed to confront this crisis head-on.
