Beautiful And Practical Metal Cremation Urns

By Sharron Cantu


There are vastly more variations on the modern interment vessel than there have ever been in the past. Whatever choices an individual is making for their remains, whether it be to lay in a casket or placed in a decorative container, to be entombed, buried or dispersed on the wind, a lot of opportunity for personalization is available. A lot of individuals find that tastefully done metal cremation urns are their preference.

For many people, choosing an eternal resting vessel for themselves or a loved one, is a decision based largely on what best fits the personality of the intended inhabitant. A lot of survivors find it comforting to have a representation of the deceased displayed in the home. Though attractiveness is a big factor, one will also need to consider some practical issues.

Aside from being a proper representation of the individual, an interment container should be fitting to the way in which it will be stored. For instance, if it is to be kept inside a home or displayed inside a tomb, it is best that it be complementary to its surroundings. Burial, scattering and gifting, each require special requirements as well.

Style is but one aspect of what will make a suitable container for an individual's ashes. The material from which it is made is also very important to ensure that it will be adequate for the circumstances in which it will be kept. Some of the more popular metallic substances used for this purpose are copper, brass, bronze, pewter and stainless steel, each with their own set of strengths.

These types of containers are available in a huge mix of shapes, sizes, styles and types so that there is something for any and all needs. For many individuals, nothing compares to a classically styled vase or urn that enhances the decor of the space in which it resides. But, when someone desires something a bit more modern, there are alternative shape options such as cylinders, boxes and sculpted designs.

There are containers available that are specifically intended to show respect for special services or eternal relationships. Two people who want to continue their treasured life bond even after death have the option to be place in a Companion Urn which is made to house more than one individual's remains. Those who led a life of service in fields such as firefighting, law enforcement or military, can be honored in engraved vessels.

In recent years, keepsake holders for ashes have grown in popularity. Some times these items are jewelry boxes, or even photo frames displaying the portrait of the deceased. When multiple family members or friends wish to retain some part of the remains for sentimental reasons, this becomes a good option as a small amount of ash can be placed in each container.

Keepsake pieces of jewelry, designed to hold just a small amount of ash, are often made from pewter, brass or silver. Lockets or hollow pendants on chains are often given to those who were special to the deceased as a way of always being close, even after death. The traditional interment vessel has been modernized and customized to fit the needs of many.
