How do I choose an urn?

Deciding what will be done with cremated remains may help you decide what type of urn to select. An urn can serve as an important focal point at a funeral or memorial service. There are also urn styles that are especially appropriate when scattering is chosen. Though most people find it easier to select an urn at the same time as other funeral or memorial arrangements are made, an urn can also be purchased at a later time. When you choose an urn, you are creating a permanent memorial, one that reflects your loved one's character and your personal taste.
