personality
Choose an urn with an aesthetic that thoughtfully embodies and respectfully represents their character and uniqueness, creating a personalised tribute to their life, personality, and legacy.
size
Although size is primarily a practical consideration, it can also be a reflection of personality. The average volume needed for a full set of ashes is around 3.5L, or 200–215 cubic inches. We also offer smaller keepsake urns for those who plan to share the ashes among family or scatter a portion. You can find more information on size requirements in our FAQs.
purpose
Contemplate the intended use of the urn—be it for permanent display, interment, scattering, or sharing among family members. Understanding its purpose will guide the selection of an appropriate style and material that aligns with the desired use, ensuring it fulfills both practical and sentimental needs.
materials
The choice of materials significantly impacts the urn’s appearance, durability, and symbolism. Materials like wood, metal, ceramic, or biodegradable options each carry their own significance and aesthetic appeal. Selecting a material that holds special meaning or resonates with the departed’s essence can add depth and significance to the memorial.
permanence
Consider the desired longevity of the urn. Some urns are designed for long-term preservation, while others are crafted for biodegradability. Understanding the desired level of permanence can guide the selection of materials and design elements, ensuring it aligns with the emotional significance and long-term vision for remembrance.
