How Do I Create A Custom Urn For Ashes?

Cremation is a popular choice for many people in the UK. It's affordable, environmentally-friendly, and allows you to celebrate your loved one with a ceremony that's meaningful for you and your family members. But once the ashes have been reduced to ash, what do you do with them? You could put them in an urn that no one knows anything about—or you could create a custom cremation urn that reminds everyone of who this person was. We created our own bespoke Urns UK so that we could remember our grandparents by creating something new and beautiful out of their remains. Here's how we did it:

You won't find a custom urn at the funeral home

It's a common misconception that you can only purchase a custom cremation urn at the funeral home. While funeral homes often sell custom urns, they are not the only option. You can buy a custom cremation urn online, you can get a custom cremation urn made by professional artists, or you can make your own with materials found at home improvement stores.

If none of these options seem like right fit for you and your loved one's wishes (or if the thought of making something yourself seems too daunting), there is still another way to get what you want: ask friends or family members who have experience working with wood to create an urn for their ashes on commission.

Consider the size of the ashes

When considering the size of your loved one's ashes, it's important to consider how much space they will take up in their final resting place.

To measure the size of the ashes, use a measuring cup or other large container with a uniform bottom. Pour some of the ashes into this container and then fill it with water until all of the ashes are submerged and no more can be added without overflowing.

Next, take out this mixture and measure it with a ruler or tape measurer. This is how wide your urn should be. If you don't have access to either one, use Google Images to find an example that looks similar to what you're trying to make!

Choose a design that fits your loved one's personality

Now that you've decided to create a custom urn for ashes, it's time to think about the design. You can choose from hundreds of pre-made designs or work with an artist to design a custom one.

The most important part is choosing one that reflects your loved one's personality and interests. Are they into sports, art, music? Did they like wearing bold patterns and colours? Did they have a favourite hobby? Was there anything in particular that stood out about them as a person?

It's also important not to be afraid of expressing yourself in this process: if there was something they always did when they were happy—like wearing hats with little animals on them—it might be worth putting some thought into incorporating those things into the urn design.

Order a bespoke, handmade cremation urn that you can hold in your hands

Handmade urns are a good choice if you want something more durable, meaningful, beautiful and personal. They can be more environmentally friendly as well.

Handmade cremation urns cost more than mass-produced ones; however it is possible for some families to get a discount on their handmade cremation urn by ordering directly from the manufacturer. In some cases, such discounts may amount to 50% off of retail prices.

Your loved ones will appreciate it

When you're looking for a way to honour your loved ones, consider creating a custom urn for ashes. It's an easy way to show how much you love and care about them, and it's the perfect way to cherish the ashes of your loved one.
