Abstract: A hybrid grave marker and cremains container includes a plurality of side walls, a transparent top cover, and a base, bonded to each other by ultraviolet glue so as to form a hermetic receiving envelope for containing ashes or memorabilia of a deceased person. The container is partially interred into the ground with the top portion of the container extending above the ground. Friends and relatives of the deceased may have the possibility of viewing the cremains contained in the container through the transparent top cover and/or side walls. The grave marker and cremains container may be used singly or may be combined with other cremains containers to form a memorial group.
