The term burial caskets
for ashes is another term to describe a vessel or holding place for
cremation or cremation urns. And at Urns UK we have seen a lot of different
ones in color, material, shape, form, design, etc. and we have given advice to
thousands of people that needed a cremation urn, a keepsake, or cremation
jewellery.
Now, maybe it is important to address the fact that cremation
urns or Adult cremation urns and Ashes
caskets are considered large urns or full-size urns for adults,
infants, or even companions or double urns. That means that one urn will be
able to accommodate all the ashes that come from one person, man, woman, or
infant, or in a companion urn, ashes from two people.
The burial urns for cremated
ashes or just urns as they are known in the market, are not a new idea,
archaeologists found some vases containing ashes as old as 7000 BC, and also in
the Roman Empire these burial urns were used, and some were found made of
alabaster and ceramic. The Greeks also used cremation urns and some are as old
as 850 BC.
In ancient Greece, cremation was a common thing, and the ashes
were typically placed in a painted Greek vase. Romans placed the urns for ashes in a niche, or in a
collective tomb called a columbarium. Cremation urns were also commonly used in
early England and in many pre-Columbian cultures.
In some later European traditions, a king's heart, and
sometimes other organs, could be placed in one or more urns upon his death, as
happened with King Otto of Bavaria in 1916, and buried in a different place
from the body, to symbolize a particular affection for the place by the
departed.
Now, cremation is becoming more and more popular in certain
countries, and that is happening in the United Kingdom. The reason is that in a
lot of places we are running out of space to bury a body and therefore cemetery
lots are becoming more and more expensive.
Funeral Homes will offer you options that include many
services around the cremation and it might also include a cremation urn for an adult, but people are now also looking to buy
those online, and usually, that is because you can find better deals and more
options as far as prices, quality, material, color, personalisation, etc.
We at Urns UK have been doing that for many years and we have
a very large selection of burial urns for human ashes or ashes caskets and we
also complement our offering with cremation keepsakes to share the remains with
friends or family, and also cremation jewellery that will let you keep a little
portion of the remains close to you all the time.
