Basic Details You Should Expect When Buying Cremation Urns
A growing number of individuals are opting to bypass traditional burials for another practice. Each person has their own reasons for making the decision for being cremated. As uniquely personal as those motivations are, the many styles of cremation urns available are designed to accurately reflect them all.
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.
Keepsake receptacles are most often used when one's ashes are to be scattered or when they are to be shared between multiple family members or close friends. Dispersal is a permanent decision, so it is highly recommended that at least a small portion of the remains be kept. The vessel options come in many forms including jewelry, memory boxes, photo frames and customized creations.
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.
