How to Find the Right Urn

How do you go about finding the right cremation urn? You’ll want to get the right urn for your deceased loved one’s ashes. Keep a few things in mind to ensure you get what you need.

Planning a direct cremation in Yukon, OK won’t be nearly as hard as you might think if you find the right death care services provider. One of the things you’ll need to do is choose a cremation urn. While all urns serve essentially the same function, that’s not the same thing as saying that all urns are essentially the same. They most certainly are not.

What follows are a few tips to help you find the right cremation urn. And remember that the crematory you hire will definitely be able to help you on this front as well.

Figure Out How Much You Can Afford

You shouldn’t start looking for urns until you’ve decided how much you can afford – and how much you actually want to spend. In other words, just because you might be able to afford a high-end urn doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ll want to buy a high-end urn. This is especially the case if the plan is to scatter the ashes. Do you want to spend a lot on an urn if the plan is to scatter the ashes a short time after taking the urn home? After you determine your budget, be sure to inform staff at the crematorium you hire so that they can recommend suitable urns.

Look at Various Appropriate Urns

When you go to the death care services provider, take the time to look through the runs they have. Chances are that you don’t know much about urns or about the pros and cons of different types. You can check out the inventory, ask questions, and seek recommendations.

Comb Over the Price List

Another important step is to look at the general price list. It will show you what urns are offered and what these urns cost. If you’re on a budget, then the price list will be your friend. Any death care services provider you visit will give you a copy of the price list.

Consider Materials

What material interests you most? There are metal urns, glass urns, ceramic urns, wood urns, and other varieties. When you go to a crematorium to plan , you can ask to see urns manufactured from the material or materials you prefer.

Consider Size

You can count on the staff at the crematorium to help you find an urn of the right size. If you need multiple urns so that various family members can take home some of the ashes, then you might want to buy multiple smaller urns.
