What You Should Consider When Selecting Baby Urns

By Shirley Murray


In the recent past, more and more persons are starting to consider cremation as the best way to take care of deceased loved ones. The reason for this is the fact that burial has become costlier. When a person has been cremated, the family has to decide what will happen with the ashes. There are those that sprinkle the ashes in places that are dear to them. Baby urns will be used when parents want to have memories of their child.

You should be in a position to choose the right urns that will fit your needs. There are hundreds of companies offering them. If there is more than one member of the family that wants to keep the ashes, you should go for the smaller versions. There are keepsake urns which allow just a little amount of deceased ashes to be stored. This helps in averting any problems of who in the family has the rights to keep the ashes.

There are some couples that prefer to be together even after death. In such cases, the companion urn comes in handy. The urn has two compartments that can hold ashes of two people. Some of them however come with a solitary compartment, meaning ashes can only be stored in that section. Infant urns are made for holding ashes of babies. They are able to be designed so tastefully that they can incorporate interests and items the kid was interested when they were alive.

Such urns can also be inscribed with the name, date of birth, age and any special message the parents may wish to be displayed. As a long-lasting tribute, there are manufacturers who incorporate the photo of the child. This is always so that there is a long-lasting memory of the deceased. The actual design specifications however depend on preferences of parents or guardians.

Online websites offer a wider range of urns, some being small and others mini versions. This affords parents greater saving as compared to what they would save by using options provided by funeral homes. In some cases, you can save as much as 50 percent. When you shop online, it accords you some privacy, something that is good for people who do not want publicity that the purchase might come with.

You should be able to choose the right size of urn for obvious reasons. In normal circumstances, ashes take cubic inches. There is an indication of the amount of ashes that can be taken by the urn. One pound of body weight produces approximately one inch of ashes after being cremated. This is so because while shopping, you get descriptions provided of the capacity the urn can provide in cubic inches.

When you want to choose the right baby urn, second opinions will be important. As much as possible, you should ask a family member or friend to give their opinion of your choice. In most cases they will agree with your choice but this does not make the second opinion less important.

When selecting, you need to consider various sellers. You should be able to check what products they offer and their charges. This helps in making the right choices.
