Cremation Urns
After cremation occurs, the remains will be returned to your family in a temporary plastic container, which is perfect for keeping cremated remains for a short period of time prior to a scattering ceremony. However, there are several reasons to purchase a more permanent, elegant cremation urn:
-
If you plan to have a memorial service where the cremated remains will be present
-
If you plan to inter the remains in a columbarium niche where the urn will be visible
-
If you wish to keep the cremated remains in a place of honor at home
Urns are made of numerous materials, generally in the categories of hardwood, metal or stone. We also offer a selection of unique, temporary urns and biodegradable urns for those selecting scattering at sea. There are also miniature keepsake urns to hold a token portion of the cremated remains, a lock of hair, or another memento.
We offer a wide range of urns in all price ranges.

Bringing Your Loved One’s Personality to the Memorial
The memorial service you plan for a loved one can be as personal as you wish it to be. Many families find great comfort in reflecting on the various personality traits and accomplishments of their loved one.
-
Personal characteristics
-
Passions, interests, and hobbies
-
Lifetime achievements
Your funeral director will also ask you about:
-
The special memories you wish to share or highlight
-
The important people you’d like to note or include
-
How you’d like to personalize elements of the memorial
Once you've given thought to the unique life and personality of the person who died, it's time to incorporate those memories into a memorial plan. Be creative and work with your family to honor this special person in as unique a way as you wish.

Considering Memorialization?
There are wonderful things you can do to memorialize your loved one and ensure they are remembered and honored. Being memorialized is in keeping with two basic human needs: the desire to remember and to be remembered.
How would your loved one like to be remembered? Perhaps they would choose something small and private such as a birdbath, sundial or garden bench. Or, maybe they would prefer having a tree planted in their name.
You may simply choose to create an online memorial in their honor such as Memories Forever™, where you can include a video tribute as well as an archive of treasured photographs.
Whether large or small, there are many memorialization options in all price ranges that can help you say your final goodbyes and remember the life of someone you loved.
