What to consider when picking out an urn for ashes?
An urn is a personal memorial that holds the ashes or part of the ashes of your deceased loved one. Choosing an urn is not easy, so we recommend you take your time. You can browse our website to find out what you like and what suits your loved one. This may give you some good ideas which you can share with family members or friends. To help you choose an urn for a man, we have some advice for you.
First determine where the urn will be placed
When choosing an urn, it is important to decide where the urn will be placed. This is because this is important for the choice of materials. Do you want to place it outdoors? In that case you should opt for urns made from materials that can withstand the elements, such as stainless steel, bronze or natural stone. If you want to place an urn indoors, any material is suitable.
What size do you need?
The size of the urn is an important starting point when looking for a suitable urn. Urns are available in various sizes, such as normal urns, mini urns and duo urns. If you want to keep the ashes of your deceased loved one in their entirety in a single urn, it is best to go for a normal-sized urn. If you want to keep part of the ashes or spread the ashes over several urns, you can choose a mini urn. If you want to place the ashes of two people in one urn, you can choose a duo urn.
Decide how much money you want to spend on the urn for ashes
Urns are available in a variety of price ranges. For example, you can buy an urn from as little as 39, and some can cost more than 2,000. Determining your budget for the urn before making your choice will allow you to search in a much more targeted way.
Who was the deceased loved one for whom the urn is intended?
When choosing an urn, it is of course also very important that the urn suits the deceased. To choose an urn, you can look at the hobbies and passions of the deceased. For example, if your loved one loved motorbikes, then our motorbike helmet urn is very suitable. Did he/she love the beach? In that case you can choose our Sea urn 'Beach view with lighthouse'. We have numerous urns in our range to suit specific passions. In addition, you can also base your choice on favourite colours, shapes and materials. For example, if your loved one's favourite colour was blue, then a blue urn is very suitable. In short, there is always an urn in our range that suits your deceased loved one.
