How to Buy a Funeral or Cremation Urn
At some point, many of us will face the task of purchasing an urn for a loved one. This guide aims to help you navigate this difficult decision with useful information and considerations.
Understanding the Basics
When visiting a funeral home or cremation society, you may not always find the perfect urn from their selection. If you choose not to purchase one, the remains will come in a simple plastic or cardboard box, regardless of the cremation cost. This can be surprising for many, as the appearance doesn't reflect the value or significance of the remains.
Choosing the Right Urn
The ideal urn is both a personal reflection of the deceased and practical for your intended use. Here are some common options for handling remains:
1. Burying the Ashes: Check cemetery requirements, as some may only allow biodegradable urns.
2. Scattering the Ashes: Be cautious of wind conditions and consider biodegradable bags for water scatterings to protect the ecosystem.
3. Keeping Ashes at Home: Select a safe, secure location away from children and pets. Consider the urn's weight if you need to move it frequently. Also, plan for what should happen to the ashes after your own passing.
4. Placing Ashes in a Mausoleum: Contact the mausoleum for specific requirements, as many accept only non-wooden urns. Ensure the urn is the correct size and consider personalizing it for identification.
5. Sharing Remains: Use smaller urns or keepsake options, like blown glass or diamond rings, for family members.
6. Traveling with Ashes: Ensure the urn is TSA-compliant. Avoid metal urns, as they cannot be scanned properly by X-ray machines.
Design and Presentation
Think about the urn’s appearance, especially if it will be displayed at a memorial service or life celebration. Opt for designs that are dignified, with soothing colors and textures.
Budgeting
Consider your budget and explore options through funeral home catalogs and online stores. Urns are available in various materials, designs, and price ranges to match your preferences.
Conclusion
Choosing an urn is a challenging but important decision. By considering these guidelines, the process can be made somewhat easier, allowing you to honor your loved one's memory thoughtfully.
