Should I get a metal urn If I am going to store them in a family columbarium?

Asked 3 years ago

My father recently died, and I want to fulfill his final wishes to be cremated. My family values tradition and wishes his ashes to be interred in our columbarium. We've been debating as a family which urn material would be best for storing his ashes for future generations. Should we get a metal urn to keep his cremains safe for as long as possible?

I'm so sorry for your loss. Metal urns are a great choice for columbariums or outdoor settings because they're exceptionally durable and weather resistant. Metal urns are also great because they come in so many colours and designs, making choosing the right urn for your dad a lot easier.
