Urn Upgrade Options
When choosing an urn, you can consider things like:
Size
The size of the urn should be able to comfortably hold the remains. A general rule is that one pound of ashes is equal to one cubic inch of space. If you’re planning to put the urn in a columbarium or cemetery memorial, you should check the urn size and type that’s allowed.
Material
Urns can be made from a variety of materials, including glass, wood, ceramic, steel, and natural stone. Wood can have a timeless feel, while glass can be elegant or whimsical.
Design
You can choose a design that reflects your loved one’s style, such as their favourite colour or a symbol they liked.
Biodegradable
If you’re planning a water or natural burial, you’ll need a biodegradable urn made from organic or recycled materials. These urns will break down naturally when they come into contact with water or soil.
Final resting place
Consider where the urn will be placed.
