How to Choose the Right Cremation Urn

Schrader-Howell Funeral Home • February 7, 2021

One of the decisions you’ll need to make when planning a cremation service is what type of urn to get. There are various kinds you can buy – and you can even opt to go with a simple cardboard container if you’d rather not buy one at all. Even so, most families who plan cremation services in Canton Township, MI prefer to purchase some kind of urn. If you find yourself looking for an urn for your loved one’s ashes, here are some things to think about. 

 

Purpose 

What are your plans for the cremated remains? You need to answer this question because there are different urns for different purposes. So you’ll want to get an urn that suits your plans. For instance, if you want to bury the urn, you can get a biodegradable urn or an urn made from some other material like metal or wood. If the plan is to have a cremation and memorial before scattering the ashes, you can buy a scattering urn. Let the funeral director know what you plan to do with the urn so that you get an urn that makes sense for you and your family. 

 

Budget 

How much are you interested in spending for a cremation urn? You and your family will want to consider this important question so that you find an urn within your budget. The funeral director will be able to help you find something you like for a price you can afford. So look through the funeral home’s general price list to see what’s available within your budget. And don’t hesitate to ask questions. The funeral director or someone else from the funeral home will provide the answers you need. This will make it easier to make a choice. 

 

Material 

What type of material do you want? There are urns made from wood, metal, marble, and many other types of materials. When you go to the funeral home for a consultation, you’ll get to see what’s out there. And this will make it easier for you to determine what you really want. Of course, there is a correlation between the material you choose and the amount you pay. You’ll want to keep this in mind as you consider which cremation urn to purchase. 

Style 

Are you okay with a plain urn or do you want a unique style? You will have to pay more for a unique style, but it can be worth it if you’re looking for something that honors your loved one.
