Why Use a Keepsake Urn
Set of Keepsake Urns
Unlike traditional urns which hold the cremains of an entire person, these urns will hold just a small portion of ashes.
There are a number of situations in which you might consider using a keepsake urn instead of, or in addition to, a larger, traditional cremation urn.
- If burial has been chosen, you may want to keep a small portion of ashes close to you.
- A keepsake urn may also be used to hold other items and mementoes, such as hair or jewelry.
- A set of keepsake urns may be used in addition to a larger urn so that small portions of ashes can be shared among different family members.
- If ashes have been scattered, a portion of the ashes can be kept in keepsake urns to give a comforting sense of permanence, even if people move away from the location.
Keepsake urns come in a variety of colors and styles. You can easily choose a keepsake urn that reflects the unique spirit of your loved one.
