Is it necessary to seal a Keepsake Urn before giving it to family?

Asked 3 years ago

I'm planning my future funeral and would like to be cremated. I want to keep some of my ashes in our family columbarium and the rest given to my siblings. We live near the sea, and I'm worried that the humid air will make my ashes smell bad. Is it necessary to seal the keepsake urns?

If the keepsake urns you're purchasing come with a secure, threaded lid, there should be no need to seal them because they are already airtight. However, there is also nothing wrong with sealing the urns with metal glue or clear epoxy glue to ensure that no moisture finds its way inside.
