Important Information When Selecting Baby Urns

By Shirley Murray


More and more people are getting to consider cremation over time. This is mostly because of the fact that burying deceased loved ones has become costlier. After a loved one has been cremated, one is left with options of what they should do with the ashes. While many people opt to sprinkle them at places that were dear to them, the use of urns is preferred by many. Baby urns are becoming very common.

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.

It is also possible to have the urns inscribed with name, birth date and a special message as may be preferred by the parents. To act as a long lasting tribute, some parents will incorporate a photo of the child. This goes a long way in ensuring a long-lasting legacy of the child is left. Actual design specification and preferences depend on parents.

Online websites will always offer a wide range of urns, some small and others mini. These will afford the parents a greater saving compared to if they were to be obtained via funeral homes. As a matter fact, one is able to save as much as 50 percent in some cases. By shopping online also, you are able to privately do so in your home, which is important for some people.

You should be able to choose the right size of urn for obvious reasons. In normal circumstances, ashes take cubic inches. There is an indication of the amount of ashes that can be taken by the urn. One pound of body weight produces approximately one inch of ashes after being cremated. This is so because while shopping, you get descriptions provided of the capacity the urn can provide in cubic inches.

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 helps to consider several service providers. You can check their products and compare quality and what they charge. This way, you are able to make the right choice.
