Choosing An Urn With The Funeral Home

November 25, 2019 • Teri Vila-Caballero

Once you decide to cremate a loved one, it’s a relief to know the funeral home in Key Biscayne, FL will take care of that service for you. However, your decisions aren’t done. You still need to choose an urn. While the funeral home can provide you with a simple container filled with your loved one’s remains once the cremation takes place, you might want something more special to suit their personality. Funeral homes completely understand that and offer plenty of options. You can, of course, order whatever you want outside the funeral home’s walls. But it can help to have a funeral home explain your options.

Funeral Homes Know Sizes

There are actually different sizes of urns, just as there are different sizes of people. The funeral home can help you decide what size you need based on your loved one’s height and weight. They can also help you with size in other ways. If you plan to put the urn on your mantel at home, for example, they might have you measure the mantel to make sure you get an urn with a base that will fit well there and not tip over.

Funeral Homes Have Material Options

While you can find material options anywhere you look for urns, the funeral home will know what materials are best for which situations. If you are keeping the urn outside in a display, metal is best. If you want something to bury, you can use any material, really. If you want something for display in your home, perhaps wood or ceramic would look nice. Talk to the Miami funeral home about your intentions and they can help you with the materials.

Funeral Homes Implement Plans

When you decide on final services for your loved one, the funeral home can take those decisions and implement them for you. When you use them to purchase your loved one’s urn, the same can be true. They can take your decisions and get the urn of your choice without you having to be the go between. They’ll take care of everything for you and once the urn comes in, they can place your loved one’s remains in it and return it to you without any further burdens on you during this hard time.
