Urn cemetery

An urn cemetery is used to keep the containers with the ashes of the deceased after a cremation. Grave fields with urn burials have been known since the Bronze Age , especially from the urn field culture . Ancient grave fields with urn burials are not called urn cemetery, as the term “cemetery” is reserved for Christian burial sites.
