There are plenty of decisions that go around cremation services in Miami, FL and when you pre-plan your own services, it might feel simple to choose an urn for yourself. You know what you like and your preferences are top of mind. But when you have to pick an urn for a loved one, it’s much more complicated. There are so many options on the market, it’s hard to narrow them down until you get to the right choice. Here are a few tips to help you figure things out, bit by bit.

What Materials Do They Like?

There are some people that have obvious material preferences. Did your loved one, for example, love oak woodworking? Their cabinets in the kitchen were natural wood and they couldn’t imagine ever painting them because they simply loved the beauty of the wood. If you know that your loved one had an affinity for a certain material, it might be nice to get an urn in that material to show that part of their personality. Whenever you see it, it will remind you of that love they had.

Do They Have A Favorite Color?

You may or may not want to use their favorite color for the urn, but remembering their favorite color could make something stand out to you. Perhaps you notice a metal urn that has a muted pink tone to it. Since they loved pink, it’s a good fit. Maybe there’s a ceramic urn that has a pattern featuring a lot of yellow, which they loved. Their colors can be features on the urn in ways that stand out or blend in, but just feel right to you.

Is Personalizing A Nice Idea?

If there’s a saying your loved one used a lot or a quote they adored, you might want to inscribe that on the urn to remember them even further. You could also just put their name and birthday on it or a carving of an angel or some other figure. It makes whatever urn you choose that much more special and customized.

When you choose an urn for a loved one, keep the purpose of the urn in mind. If you are choosing something for a cremation service, you want something that looks classy for people to see and remember your loved one. If you are picking an urn that will stay in your family home, you want something that will blend in with the décor and look nice for the long haul.
