Cremation urns are containers designed to hold the ashes of a deceased person after cremation. They come in various materials, such as wood, metal, ceramic, and biodegradable options, allowing families to choose one that reflects the personality or preferences of their loved one. Urns can also vary in size, shape, and design, catering to different cultural and personal needs. Many families choose to display cremation urns in their homes, while others may opt for burial in a cemetery or placement in a columbarium. Some urns are specifically designed for scattering ashes in meaningful locations, providing a way to honor the memory of the deceased.
