Did you know that some urns are not scannable and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) won’t open an urn to inspect the contents? What this means for travelers planning to fly with the ashes of a loved one is that some extra thought has to go into choosing an appropriate urn or temporary container in order to get to your destination.

Urn vaults are sturdy containers for cremation urns. You may need an urn vault if you plan to bury the urn in certain cemeteries that require it.

The size of cremation urn you need can depend on more than one issue, as Stardust Memorials customer Glen found out. You need to figure out not only the urn's capacity  (remember, weight in pounds equal cubic inches of cremated ashes) but also consider the urn's final placement...

When the time comes to select an urn for someone you love, you may wish to consider urn choices that include a secure place for special mementos. There are many urns that have extra storage space for you to secure special documents, photos, dried flowers, or other small tokens that remind you of your loved one. 

These newly-arrived memorial products may offer comfort to families looking for a way to remember and honor a special person.
