| The urn holds your loved one’s cremated remains. Which urn you
select depends on your loved one’s personality, as well as on the urn’s style,
color, cost, and level of craftmanship.
Deciding what will be done with cremated
remains may help you decide what type of urn to select. An urn can serve as an
important focal point at a funeral or memorial service. Afterward, it can be
buried in a family plot at a cemetery, placed in a niche at a mausoleum, or kept
in the home. In addition, there are urn styles that are especially appropriate
when scattering is chosen.
Though most people find it easier to
select an urn at the same time as other funeral or memorial arrangements are
made, an urn can also be purchased at a later time. Below is a sample of some of
the variety of urns available. They come in wide-ranging styles and sizes
constructed of solid-cast bronze, pewter, hardwoods, plastics, and other durable
materials. |
