Urns
Deciding what will be done with
cremated remains may help you decide what type of urn to select. An urn can
serve as an important focal point at a funeral or memorial service. Afterward,
it can be buried in a family plot at a cemetery, placed in a niche at a
mausoleum, or kept in the home. In addition, there are urn styles that are
especially appropriate when scattering is chosen. Though most people find it
easier to select an urn at the same time as other funeral or memorial
arrangements are made, an urn can also be purchased at a later time. Simply
contact your funeral director.
When you choose an urn, you are
creating a permanent memorial, one that reflects your loved one’s
character and your personal taste. That’s why you are encouraged to take
time to learn about the different materials and designs presented.

appropriate for display in the home. |

cubes or chests. They feature a brushed or painted finish which can be enhanced
with engraved names and dates or other ornamentation. |
| Hardwood

finishing with top quality stains and lacquers. Like the sheet bronze urn, wood
urns can also be personalized. |

Solid
Marble Solid marble urns are crafted from natural marble and offer the
durability and strength of stone. Fashioned from solid blocks, their unique
veining patterns make them distinctive. They are available in several types of
marble and in a variety of designs. |
| Cast
acrylic statuary urns provide another means to memorialize your loved
one. Cast from original artwork, cast acrylic urns give the appearance of
multi-dimensional crystal and can be mounted on an elegant aluminum base.
Though designed to hold a small portion or all of the cremated remains, cast
acrylic urns can also be used to hold special mementos or keepsake items.
