Some people may feel that their own home is the only place suitable for the cremated body and memories of their loved one. In today’s transient society, memorial urns and chests enable families to take the deceased with them whenever or wherever they move. Choose a memorial product or urn that will add to the beauty of your home, while maintaining the durability to stand the test of time.

While not always thought of as a cremation option, burial or interment in a cemetery is the traditional choice of many families. Whether the cremated remains are buried or inurned in a glass-front niche in a columbarium, there are many products available for memorializing your loved one including urns, picture frames and bud vases.

For some, the thought of returning to the soil brings comfort. Perhaps a beautiful garden offers a spot reminiscent of your loved one while still giving you a place to visit. You might leave the cremated remains in one place, or several areas cherished by the deceased. Consider a biodegradable bag in a simple birch box to contain the cremated body until burial or scattering, later using the box to store memorabilia.

Cremation began to be a commonly chosen means of disposition when people realized that sea scattering was a means of returning to one’s roots – back to water from which life began. The majestic beauty and rhythm of the waves at sea can aid in the healing celebration of a special life. Choose a fitting theme for an urn and after the cremated body is scattered at sea, a beautiful work of art will come home with you as a memento.
