Burial Urns

Permanent burial urns when buried do not disintegrate over time. Instead they remain unaffected by
natural forces, protecting the cremated remains inside for eternity. Bronze, marble, ceramic, meta
l and
cloisonne burial urns are all suitable for this purpose. For additional urn security it is advisable that all
urns be placed in urn burial vaults before the process of interment begins. Urn burial vaults create a
secondary level of protection for the urn. They safeguard the burial urn and cremains against accidental
damage that may be caused by human activity on the burial site in the future. Urn burial vaults also allow
more degradable burial urns to be used as permanent burial urns, protecting them from deterioration
over time.
Non-Permanent / Biodegradable Burial Urns
Biodegradable cremation urns are becoming increasingly popular in the funeral industry. The material
out of which the urns are constructed are allowed to decompose over time. This gradually releases the
cremains / ashes into the soil, the material of the burial urn fully degenerating to leave no trace of its
existence. Biodegradable burial urns represent an environmentally friendly solution for the burial of
cremated remains. For the deceased, biodegradable urns are their legacy to preserve the environment
for future generations.
Further Considerations For
Burial Urns
Before purchasing a burial urn it is worth considering where the urn shall be buried. There are many
choices open to you including cemeteries, crematory memorial gardens and columbariums. Alternatively,
you may consider burial in the grounds of your home or on public land. Funeral urns can provide
breathing space for the bereaved. They create time to reflect on a life gone by and time to plan for a new
life ahead. In essence, funeral urns empower the bereaved to seek closure, while at the same time
granting comfort and a chance to remember. Although the funeral urn may be kept at home, many people
choose interment for their loved one's funeral urns or decide to create a memorial with the funeral urn as
the focus in a place special to them and the deceased. Both the creation of a memorial or the interment
of a funeral urn can take place in a memorial garden, cemetery or columbarium. Others choose to scatter
the ashes from their funeral urns over land or out at sea as a way of attaining closure. In today's modern
world it is even possible to scatter the ashes from funeral urns in outer space.
