Useful Tips On Baby Urns

By Shirley Murray


There are more and more people who over time are preferring cremation as a way of handling the deceased. The main reason for this is because it is costlier burying. After the cremation of a loved one, one needs to make a decision of what they should do with the ashes. There are a number of people who prefer to have them sprinkled at places they deem dear to them but more and more people are preferring use of urns. Baby urns have become popular.

It is important to be able to choose the right urns that fit your needs. There are numerous companies offering the services. In the event that more than one family member wants to keep the ashes, there are smaller versions available. Keepsake urns will allow only a small amount of deceased ashes to get stored within it and this will avert problems of the person in the family who should keep the ashes.

There are certain couples who wish to be together after death. In such instances, a companion urn is used. The urn has two sections that are able to hold ashes for two individuals. Some of them however have just a single compartment, which implies ashes can only be stored in the single compartment. Infant urns are used for holding ashes of babies. They can be tastefully designed so that even items the child was interested in are incorporated.

Such urns can also be inscribed with the name, date of birth, age and any special message the parents may wish to be displayed. As a long-lasting tribute, there are manufacturers who incorporate the photo of the child. This is always so that there is a long-lasting memory of the deceased. The actual design specifications however depend on preferences of parents or guardians.

There are online websites that offer a wide range of urns, both small and mini versions. Online options mean those doing the purchase will save a great deal of money as compared to if they purchased them through funeral homes. In fact, you can save as much as 50 percent on occasions. Also, when you shop online you will be able to make the purchase from home, which works for those who do not want publicity.

For obvious reasons, you should choose the best size of urn. Normally, ashes take up space in cubic inches. The units are indicative of amount of ashes the urn can hold. One pound of weight produces roughly one inch of ash after getting cremated. This is very important because as you shop, there is a description provided of the capacity of the urn.

When choosing the right urn, it is important to get second opinions. On an ideal basis, a friend or family member should look at what you have selected and give a second opinion. While in most cases they will agree with your choice, it is important that you give room for such second opinion.

It will be helpful to consider a number of service providers. You can check the services they offer and their charges. You will then be able to make the right decision on what to go for.
