We've been so fortunate to serve families from all over the globe during a very difficult time in their lives. These families have taught us so much about the style of cremation urns and services that they have selected for their loved ones. The style of cremation urn can be chosen based on the service that the family and/or friends would like to provide for the loved one. In this circumstance, families will often select a cremation urn and inter the remains at a later date. However, another popular choice is scattering most of the ashes and purchasing keepsake urns for family members that may want to save small portions of the ashes, lock of hair, sacred burial ground, or other loving mementos. The keepsake urns can also be used to store a small amount of ash that may be scattered later. Cremation keepsake jewelry is also a popular option, with so many styles available, families can have a beautiful discreet fine jewelry cremation urn necklace in silver or gold finishes. Mourning jewelry dates back to the Victorian era and today's styles are contemporary and designed to hold a small amount of ashes or other loving keepsake. There is a wide selection of cremation urn styles available, and the purpose can vary. For this reason, it is important to know the purpose behind the urn. One of our clients selected several small brass keepsake urns for family members and a biodegradable urn suitable for water burial. His father had homes on both coasts and loved the ocean, so most of his ashes would be interred at sea on the west coast, while the children would take the remaining keepsake portions to the east coast and spread at favorite vacation spots, according to their father's wishes. Just as the styles of cremation and keepsake urns vary, so do the style of services. The desires of the departed and the family are key to consider, but most importantly, it is essential to use this time to honor and remember the departed. To give an idea as to the distinct way in which one can honor the lost is when a client purchased a brass keepsake urn to take skydiving in Chili, honoring her loved ones final request. On the other hand, a service can also be a tranquil way of honoring the departed and respecting the life that they once had. One widow selected Celtic cross urns for family members. Her husband requested that he be sprinkled in the river at his favorite fishing hole; a wreath was floated downstream following the scattering. Tree plantings are another way to honor a loved ones memory and give family members a place to visit and remember. Garden memorial stones, a personalized memorial stone for a tree dedication or sacred spot can help in the healing for families that scatter, spread, or bury the ashes and need a special place to honor the loved one. The style of cremation urn and the type of service that is provided is a reflection of the loved one. This is the opportunity for family to honor the departed and remember all that they were and the life that they lived.
