The term Urns to Cherish is another term to describe urns for cremation or cremation urns. And at Urns UK we started selling urns years ago, and 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 or a keepsake or cremation jewellery.
Now, maybe it is important to address the fact that Cremation Urns to Cherish or burial urns for ashes 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 ashes or just urns as they are known in the market, are not a new idea, archeologists found some vases containing ashes as old as 7000 BC, and also in the Roman Empire 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 typically placed in a painted Greek vase. Romans placed the Cherished Urns 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, 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 States. 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. In a city like New York a burial could be well over $10,000, so people are choosing cremation more and more.
Funeral Homes will offer you options that include many services around the cremation and it might also include an urn, 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, personalization, etc.
And in that particular case, 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 urns 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.
When it comes to urns, Urns UK has a name and a reputation!
