Understanding The Basics Of 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.
The materials used, as well as the size, shape and style of the containers are quite diversified. The range of options ensures each individual personality can be matched to the perfect receptacle. To begin, it is important to consider exactly what one's needs are in such a vessel.
The individual sized container is the most popular style on the market today. With a holding capacity of somewhere between 110 and 220 cubic inches, it is large enough to hold the ashes of a single adult. This option comes in many varied designs, materials, colors with few limitations of how creative they may be.
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.
Whenever multiple people request a bit of the ashes, or the remains are to be scattered, keepsake receptacles are a great option. They hold just a small amount, which even when choosing dispersal, it is recommended that a little be held back and saved. This category features many creative design options including photo frames, memory boxes, jewelry and one of a kind creations.
A lot of different materials can be used to create these containers. Some popular choices are pewter, copper, stainless steel, bronze, hardwoods, marble, ceramic and glass. Biodegradable options are very popular, especially for those choosing to have the ashes buried and are environmentally conscious.
