Answer: (B)

Cremation memorialization is about the ways families honor and remember a person after the cremation has taken place. The best description is that memorialization encompasses multiple methods—placing the cremated remains in an urn, scattering them in a location that held meaning, or incorporating them into keepsakes. This broad view captures the variety of meaningful options families may choose from, rather than focusing on a single method or denying memorial options.
