Details To Notice When Shopping For Ash Urns
Every day, more and more people are choosing funerary options other than traditional burial practices. The reasons why someone would choose to be cremated are as varied as the individuals who have them. As a one's interment container, the selection of cremation urns is a very personal decision and should be a reflection of the person within.
These containers come in as many shapes, sizes, materials and styles as the people who are going to use them. The variety ensures that there will be a design that perfectly reflects the personality and tastes of any individual choosing this option. The first step in making this decision is to determine the capacity and type that most accurately meets one's needs.
Containers intended for an individual are the most commonly sold. They are meant to house the remains of just a single person and have about 110-220 cubic inches of holding space. Though the inside is standard, the outer layer is practically limitless in design, color and material options.
The double grave site for couples can be substituted for a companion style container. These models are meant to have enough capacity to house two fully grown people, keeping them together through eternity. The actually holding chamber inside may be of open design so that the ashes are completely entwined, or it may be compartmentalized to keep them separated.
When one chooses to have their ashes scattered or shared between multiple survivors, keepsake receptacles are the best choice. It is always recommended that a bit of the remains be preserved since dispersal is irreversible. This category has a variety of design possibilities such as memory boxes, photo frames, jewelry or customized containers.
The choice of materials is as varied as the designs. Some of the more common selections are done in hardwoods, ceramic, glass, marble, bronze, pewter, copper and many others. The environmentally aware individual may even have their receptacle made from biodegradable products, which is popular among those who still intend to be buried.
