 Cremation Urns provide the vessel in which to memorialize a loved one. While a cremation urn serves to safeguard the cremated remains, it should also reflect the personality of the deceased individual. As you will learn, cremation urns are made from a variety of natural and man-made materials. They can be simple and quite inexpensive or intricate and as costly as a one-of-a kind sculpture. Before a cremation urn is selected, some thought should be given to the final placement of the urn. If the urn is to be kept at home, them something more decorative may be desired. If the urn is to be buried in a cemetery, then an urn crafted out of something durable would work nicely. The presence of the urn at the memorial service might also impact the selection as well.
At Goldfinch Funeral Home, we have categorized our urns as to what they are best used for. Below is our unique presentation.
Permanent Urns - Those that do not disintegrate over time when buried in a cemetery. There are many different types - bronze, copper, marble, slate, steel, etc. A permanent urn or urn vault may be required by cemetery regulations.
Non-Permanent Urns - These are mainly wooden, glass or ceramic urns. Wood urns are most often used for display in homes, niches or when buried in a cemetery with the idea of ashes to ashes and dust-to-dust. An urn vault may be used for the protection of the urn.
Scattering and/or Garden Urns - We offer several specialized vessels of containment which return to nature when placed either in water or in earth.
Keepsake, Infant Urns and Pendants - Family members often want to memorialize their loved ones by retaining a small portion of the cremated remains, a lock of hair or dried flowers. A variety of small keepsake and infant urns and pendants are available for this purpose. Keepsake and infant urns are manufactured from the same materials as regular urns. Keepsake urns are often available as a matching set to any of our full size urns selected. Keepsake pendants are crafted by jewelers as a remembrance of a loved one to be either worn or displayed. They are generally made out of gold, silver, brass or pewter.
We have selected a number of urns to display at our facilities. We have tried to provide a choice in all categories. We also have catalogs displaying many other urns.
