FAQs
What is the difference between an urn and a keepsake urn?
A keepsake urn is a small urn that only holds a tiny portion of ashes (usually around 3 cubic inches). Keepsake urns are perfect for sharing ashes amongst friends and family or keeping a small portion of cremains if you want to scatter the rest. On the other hand, a standard urn holds the ashes of an average size human, ranging in size from a 200lb to a 360lb urn.
What is the best type of urn for ashes?
The best urns are strong and sturdy while looking beautiful and representing your loved one. Aluminum and brass urns are great choices because they're durable, won't break, and can withstand burial. They also come in many beautiful colors and unique designs to honor your dearly departed in any way you feel is suitable.
Do you put ashes directly in an urn?
After your loved one has been cremated, you typically receive their ashes in a sealed plastic bag. You can either open the bag and pour the ashes directly into the urn or place the entire bag inside the urn—the choice is all yours.
