Cast Iron Urns

The use of cast iron urns for the final resting place of our dearly departed is, within recent times, gaining popularity. As a greater number of persons choose cremation over the burial the use of these vessels to store the ash is gaining the nod from both the persons as well as their families.

Having an urn, with the ash of a loved one, positioned at the center of the fireplace mantle brings comfort to the family of the deceased. It is as if their loved one is still there with then, at home enjoying the family gatherings and still being a part of special family events. Love ones who often choose this route are also pleased with the thought of existing, in some form, with the family.

However, is it truly healthy to keep urns containing the ash of your loved ones around? In cases where the passing is sudden and unforeseen, this practice has shown to give great comfort the families. When the family is ready to fully let go, the ash can be taken to a chosen site where it can be released. Perhaps it can be in the ocean, a river or into the upper atmosphere.

Where ever the sacred ash is eventually released, it does bring closure to the loss and fills the void with a sense of inner peace. Indeed, the use of urns will continue to be an option as the final or temporary resting place for our loved ones.
