Basics You Should Learn When Ordering 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 combinations of materials, styles, sizes and shapes available create an infinite number of design possibilities. Such diversity means that for every unique personality, there will be a receptacle option that genuinely represents it. To begin one's search for the perfect container, it must first be determined the category that is the best fit.

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 materials used to create containers for one's remains are quite diversified. They are commonly made from copper, pewter, marble, ceramic, stainless steel, bronze and various hardwoods, just to name a few options. Biodegradable vessels are also available and are especially great for burials.
