Basics You Should Know When Shopping For Ash Urns

A growing number of people are opting out of the traditional practices of burial rites. Each person is an individual and their reasons for making the choice are as unique as they are. Since this will serve a the eternal resting place for one's remains, shopping for cremation urns should be a search for something that truly represents their personality.

These containers come in as many shapes, sizes, materials and styles as the people who are going to use them. The variety ensures that there will be a design that perfectly reflects the personality and tastes of any individual choosing this option. The first step in making this decision is to determine the capacity and type that most accurately meets one's needs.

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.

The choice of materials is as varied as the designs. Some of the more common selections are done in hardwoods, ceramic, glass, marble, bronze, pewter, copper and many others. The environmentally aware individual may even have their receptacle made from biodegradable products, which is popular among those who still intend to be buried.
