Once you've purchased the perfect urn, you need to decide where to place it. Many people display the urn in their homes, niche, or columbarium. Others opt for burial in a cemetery or a tree burial. You could also scatter your mom's ashes or send her to rest in the ocean with a water burial.
Rest assured, no matter which small keepsake urn or adult cremation urn you choose for your mother, Trupoint Memorials has a trusted 90-day guarantee on all their urns.

FAQs
Can I keep my mom's ashes at home?
This is a very personal choice, and there is no right or wrong way to lay her to rest. If you feel comfortable keeping your mother's ashes at home, there are many wonderful ways to display the urn. You can place it on a mantle or bookshelf or in a display cabinet.
Will my mom's urn be permanently sealed, so it's safe to hold?
Trupoint's urns come with a secure, threaded lid for easy opening and closing. This lid is not easily unscrewed, so it is safe to handle. However, they can also be permanently sealed using silicone epoxy or metal glue.
Which passage at home is nice for putting my mom's urn in?
Again, this is a personal preference and could be in your entryway or hallway. Keep in mind that it would be best to place your mother's urn somewhere it won't be easily knocked over. On a shelf, side table, or dresser are good options, but in a cabinet would be best.
