Cremation Urns

Cremation urns for ashes can be made of many materials such as wood cremation urns, brass urns for ashes, and marble cremation urns. Most people choose a cremation urn based on a “look” they like -- the traditional look of brass or metal urns, the warmth of a wood box, or the stately look of genuine marble urns.

If you are looking for a unique or artistic statement piece, check out our glass, ceramic, or raku urns. Choose marble or cultured marble if permanence is most important to you. Cultured marble is ideal for burial as it can be permanently marked with the person's info via engraving, and these urns often can be buried without the added expense of an urn vault. (Be sure to check with your cemetery first though).

Within the last twenty years, the selection of urns has expanded so that you have a wide range of styles from multicolored glass urns to aluminum urns dipped in popular camo patterns.

Traveling on a plane? Choose an urn of material that can be x-rayed (wood, paper, cultured marble).
