FAQs

Are urns fireproof?

Typically, the answer is no. However, this depends on what the urn is made of. While urns made of wood, plastic, and ceramic aren't fireproof, those made of metals like brass or glass are fire-resistant but will get damaged. It's important to remember that very few materials are truly fireproof, and most will burn or melt in extremely hot temperatures.

What type of urn is best for a burial?

Urns made of metals like brass and aluminum or cultured materials like granite, onyx, marble, or custom blends of resin and filler are the most suitable for burial. These materials can withstand the harsh conditions of underground burial.

How do you clean brass urns?

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust from the urn. Once you’ve dusted the urn, you can use warm water with mild soap and a gentle cloth to give your urn a wipe. Use another soft cloth to dry it off.
