How to Choose the Right Urn

 

Finding an appropriate cremation urn for your recently departed loved one can be emotionally overwhelming. There are several things to consider when selecting the proper urn, including size, shape, color, size, and even the personal tastes and interests of the person who passed.

 

So, how do you start making a decision like this, and how do you know your choice is the RIGHT choice? Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you select the appropriate urn for your dearly departed loved one:

 

Consider The Place of Burial

Before looking at urn styles, families may want to think about the final resting place of a loved one's cremation urn. Will you scatter the ashes, bury the urn, or place it at home? For example, if you are scattering the ashes, you may want to look at the choices in scattering urns or scattering tubes, water burial urns, or less expensive urns as the urn itself is only temporary. However, if you are placing the urn in someone's home, the urn style can become more important if you have the urn "on display." 

 

 

 

 

Don't Forget Personalization

Small details that remind you of your loved one can bring comfort. Many urns can be personalized with an engraving of a name and even artwork. Stardust Memorials details how personalization can generally be done in one of two ways:

  • Direct engraving. The urn is placed in an engraving machine, and the words and symbols are cut directly into the material of the urn. 

  • Urn pendant. The engraving is done on a pendant draped around the neck of the urn from a ribbon. 

 

There are other ways to express individuality. For example, you might choose an urn in their favorite color. You may select an urn that can include a photo. Finally, the urn may have a theme, such as lighthouses, motorcycles, or flowers.

However, cremation isn’t exactly a topic you regul
