Funeral Urn
Selecting a funeral urn for your loved one is a difficult decision to
make. A funeral urn personally memorializes your loved one. Unfortunately,
at some point in your life you will possibly have to select a funeral
urn or casket. Choosing a suitable funeral urn is important and will
require considerable thought. Funeral & Cremation Emporium would like
to assist you during this complex time by giving you a few tips on funeral
urn selection.
The ideal combination for selecting a funeral urn is that you can have
the vessel personalized or in some way honor your loved one’s life.
A funeral urn should be chosen depending on how you plan to memorialize
the cremated remains. A few options are: 1.To place the cremated remains
in a funeral urn and inter them in a plot or niche at a cemetery / mausoleum.
2. To put the cremated remains inside of a temporary receptacle or a
funeral urn that opens or dissolves for scattering at sea / one’s favorite
place. 3. Retain the cremated remains in your home. 4. Divide cremains
in several portions among family.
There are various types of funeral urns and keepsakes. Did your loved
one have a particular interest or hobby? What type material would you
like your funeral urn to be made of? Materials that urns are crafted
consist of: wood, metal, bronze, pewter, crystal, glass, silk travel
(suitable for airline travel), ceramic, brass, cloisonne’(handcrafted
using ancient Chinese methods) and marble. Also available are companion
urns (used to unite two or more individuals), and infant/child urns.
Biodegradable funeral urns are also available which are environmentally
friendly and sufficient for earth or sea burial. Keepsake urns and jewelry
are another preference you may opt for if you plan on scattering, burying
or dividing the cremated remains; this way you may keep a small portion
in your possession. Funeral urns are available in many different configurations
and designs; they can be very decorative and attractive in appearance.
If you decide not to purchase a funeral urn than you will receive your
loved one in either a temporary plastic or corrugated receptacle. Please
view our funeral urn collection to select an urn suitable for your loved
one. Once you choose a funeral urn for your loved one, you may want
to consider personalizing it. Personalization is available on most wood,
metal, bronze, pewter or marble funeral urns.
For your protection, when you visit a showroom or funeral home to shop
for a funeral urn, the “Federal Trade Commission Funeral Rule” requires
the funeral home to show you a general price list (GPL) of funeral urns
the company sells, with descriptions and pricing, before showing you
the receptacles. Today, it is common for the consumer to purchase a
funeral urn from a third party (a place other than a funeral home such
as a website or showroom) which will help keep the cost of the funeral
urn lower.
