Unique Urns

Unique urns were traditionally pottery vessels, usually rather large, deep and without handles. Modern urns are made of many different materials, but still serve to hold the ashes and bones of the deceased.

Today, urns offer the opportunity for family and friends of the deceased to personalize their memories of departed ones. It can bring comfort in mourning and provide an everlasting memorial to celebrate the life of those who have left this Earth.

There are different types of specific urns including: cremation urns, funeral urns, burial urns, marble urns, keepsake urns, pet urns, cloisonne urns, Eco-friendly urns, scattering urns, cultured urns and bronze urns.

People searching for understated elegance should consider an urn made from silver, copper or bronze. However, the person looking for more elaborate designs can always seek out marble urns, ceramic urns or even cloisonne urns.

For a permanent outdoor memorial, urns that are durable and hard-wearing are highly recommended. Bronze urns are certainly a favorite as they weather well.

Do you want to remember the deceased through an urn that captures their love of golf or angling? If so, a themed urn may be appropriate.

Most urns available can be buried. To preserve non-biodegradable urns during interment it is highly recommended that the urn be enclosed within a burial vault.

Religion and faith play important roles in the lives of many of us. Urns echoing religious beliefs are available for both indoor and outdoor use.

The death of a child or infant can be particularly hard to bear. Sympathetic urns designed to celebrate the life of a child or infant may therefore be appropriate.
