FAQs
Is a butterfly urn a good idea for my dearly departed mom?
A butterfly is a beautiful symbol of transition in life. The butterfly is a welcomed sign of summer on its way, and its bright wings and elegantly swooping flight brings about a feeling of ease and happiness. This makes a butterfly urn a lovely tribute to a mother who brought joy wherever she went.
Can I keep my mom's urn in the garden?
Trupoint Memorials' urns are made from durable material and can be kept in the garden. While aluminum is typically more lightweight than brass, both materials are suitable for the outdoors. It could be wonderful to incorporate your mom's urn into a memorial garden that you can visit whenever you want to be comforted.
What if we want to divide my mother's ashes?
Keepsake urns are perfect for dividing your mother's ashes between family members. They are small and hold a small amount of ash, so everyone gets to keep their mom close. You can also use a large urn to hold the rest of her ashes while dividing some of them up between the keepsake urns.
