Basics To Expect When Picking Funeral Cremation Urns

Every day, more and more people are choosing funerary options other than traditional burial practices. The reasons why someone would choose to be cremated are as varied as the individuals who have them. As a one's interment container, the selection of cremation urns is a very personal decision and should be a reflection of the person within.

The materials used, as well as the size, shape and style of the containers are quite diversified. The range of options ensures each individual personality can be matched to the perfect receptacle. To begin, it is important to consider exactly what one's needs are in such a vessel.

Containers intended for an individual are the most commonly sold. They are meant to house the remains of just a single person and have about 110-220 cubic inches of holding space. Though the inside is standard, the outer layer is practically limitless in design, color and material options.

Companion receptacles are just as viable as are joint burial sites. These containers are a bit larger as they are intended to hold the remains of two full grown individuals. Inside the housing, the ashes may be combined within one compartment, or that space may be divided so that they do not intermingle.

Whenever multiple people request a bit of the ashes, or the remains are to be scattered, keepsake receptacles are a great option. They hold just a small amount, which even when choosing dispersal, it is recommended that a little be held back and saved. This category features many creative design options including photo frames, memory boxes, jewelry and one of a kind creations.

A lot of different materials can be used to create these containers. Some popular choices are pewter, copper, stainless steel, bronze, hardwoods, marble, ceramic and glass. Biodegradable options are very popular, especially for those choosing to have the ashes buried and are environmentally conscious.
