Are You Choosing the Right Cremation Urn?

Before you buy a cremation urn, there are many factors to consider. The type of urn you choose can be confusing, especially if you’re not familiar with the purchasing process. Whether you decide on a simple cardboard box for the cremated remains or an ornate urn for ritual purposes, the choice is ultimately up to you and the family.

Choose an urn that matches your loved one‘s personality. Be it fun and whimsical, or elegant and traditional, we have the perfect urn for you. Urns UK showcases all of the top quality urns, and we are making it easy for you to choose the right one. You can customise your urn by adding a photo and a customised name plate or engraving. We also have many helpful articles about selecting an adult urn, caring for your loved one’s ashes, and how to spread their ashes.

When someone close to you passes away, choosing the right urn for their ashes - one that reflects their personality and the place they will be resting - can be a real comfort. We’ve got you covered.

How big is too big for an urn?

There are many creative ways to store ashes. You can keep all of the ashes in one urn, or choose to keep a few memorial items alongside a portion of the ashes. Companion urns hold the ashes of two people, a thoughtful resting place for couples or close family members who wish to be together even after death. Instead of keeping all of someone’s ashes in one urn, you might prefer to scatter some and keep a small amount with you. You can also split the ashes between a few different urns for different family members. It’s up to you, as there really is an urn for every eventuality.

There are many different types of urn for cremated remains, each with their own purpose and design. For example, scattering urns can be used to release the ashes into the air or water so that they may return to nature. Urns for burial in the earth or water, such as biodegradable ‘eco’ urns and outdoor urns, are created from environmentally friendly materials that will completely break down without harming animals or plants. Keepsakes like pendants can hold a small amount of ashes and allow you to keep your loved one close to you at all times.

People often purchase urns for their deceased pets, when a pet passes away, the grief can be overwhelming, and it’s natural to want to memorialise them with something personal that expresses the love you feel for them.
