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.
