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.
