Urns for Two Sets of Ashes

Companion urns might be the solution for families that need to store the ashes of two people. Perhaps the parents decide they want their ashes together for eternity. Sometimes a pet owner will want the ashes of a faithful companion added to the urn. An urn for two people might be the answer. Large urns that are double capacity are sometimes called companion urns and could simplify the choice to store two sets of ashes.

The next decision is where will the urn reside? Are you keeping it in the home? Cemetery burial or vault?  Sometimes funeral homes offer glass front niches that families can lease. Size or material of the urn may matter in this instance and sometimes the urn urn will need to be engraved for identification, or interred in a vault.

Companion urn and styles vary from very decorative Chinese cloisonne to American made wood urns and custom bronze urns.  Birds, flowers, and nature are popular themes. Most of the large urns have one compartment for storage of the ashes, occasionally you'll find a companion urn with divided spaces to keep the ashes separate. There's even cremation jewelry with two separate chambers to hold a small amount of ashes. Your funeral director can assist you in making a decision.

Memorial Stones Instead of Tombstones

With the growth in cremation over traditional burial, the trend in creating a memorial garden or tree dedication is gaining popularity. Families often choose memorial stones, plaques or stepping stones to create a tribute for their loved one in place of a traditional graveyard memorial. This certainly saves a great deal of money for families who may not be able to afford a plot of land in a cemetery, the memorial stones can be personalized with the deceased's name, birth dates, and a brief sentiment. Whether or not an urn is selected, cremation also provide certain philosophical benefits as well; as ash is easily returned to the earth, after the body is consumed by flame—a tradition that dates back as far as human history.

Some families like to use the stone as a marker to dedicated a tree of special planting in the garden to remember their loved one. Most of our stones have hangers on the back that you could mount on a fence or even use as a plaque indoors as a wall hanging. The stones are sized so that they are not overly large and can become a versatile, weatherproof memorial that can be used in or outdoors.

Striking Aspects of Cremation Urns

When planning a memorial service, many families are choosing cremation over burial. Typically, the cremation process is much more affordable versus a traditional funeral. In order to ease funeral costs, many people are planning a small quiet family-oriented memorial service with the cremation urn present. One of the advantages of cremation urns is the cost involved.  Your funeral director can assist with the planning and adding the ashes to a carefully selected urn. From here, the ashes could be scattered, or they could become a permanent memorial within either a niche in a cemetery a special memorial center, or a permanent addition within the family home. Some of the advantages of the cremation process include the ‘purifying’ effect of flame. One’s body quickly returns to ash, a process that otherwise takes many years to complete in a traditional burial.

Cremation urns take many shapes, and sizes. One of the most striking aspects of the urn process is that the container itself is customizable to the style and preferences of the one who passed away. A perfect example could be through the varied materials and designs, carefully tailored by the loved one to best represent the departed person’s style and passions. Urn styles vary from patriotic Americana urns, to shapes that appeal to a variety of hobbies and sports, to metaphorical designs that are elegant or attractive in a nondescript way. The materials in custom urns range from inexpensive but high-quality resins and metals, to hand-designed bronze urns created with the precision of expert-artists.
