1) Choose your use

Given the abundance of alternatives and hundreds of urns available, one may be unsure of where to begin when selecting the ideal funeral urn for themselves or their loved ones.

Here are some valuable pointers to help you with the decision-making process. 

a) Keep the funeral urn at home.

Displaying adult urns in a prominent location in your home is a way to show honor and respect to your loved one. It's practical to keep the urn at home to preserve memories of the departed, and many families find solace in the ashes' tangible presence.

b) Diffusion of ashes.

Urns with lids are designed for easy ashes release. Once the ashes have been distributed, the family can place mementos or flowers inside the urn to immortalize the loved one.

c) Biodegradable urns.

They are made of recycled and organic materials, and when water is added, they are supposed to break down organically. They are designed to be tossed into an ocean, lake, or sea. The urns dissolve completely in water. Another kind of biodegradable urn is made to be buried and will break down in the earth. The BIOS Urn is another item that creates a tree out of ashes.

d) Columbarium.

Size is the most crucial factor when choosing a Cremation urn for a columbarium niche. Measure the urn's height, breadth, and depth to ensure it will fit inside the niche.

e) Distribution of ashes among family members.

Certain families could split part of the ashes across many memento urns. Many find solace in sharing urns, wearing memento urns or jewelry, or holding their loved one's ashes near to their hearts during their grieving process.

2) Choose the size of the urn for ashes.

The next stage is to ascertain the funeral urn's volume after ascertaining its kind. A cremation urn's volume, or the quantity of space inside the urn, is expressed in liters.  Following cremation, the ash from a 70-kilogram body will weigh around 3 liters. An animal weighing 10 kg corresponds to an ash volume of around 0.5 liters.  Therefore, you should choose the ballot boxes accordingly. If you are not sure which size to select, we recommend that you choose the larger size funeral urn.

3) Economic factors:

Among the wide variety of funeral urns available, there are more affordable ones, such as those made from biodegradable materials; others of intermediate prices, such as certain brass urns; and, among those made with some types of wood and marble, higher-priced urns. 

In general, it is possible to find more basic funeral urns in each style and others that are much more exclusive.
