Families choosing a cremation urn for a loved one may want to consider color in the urn selection process. Color can be a wonderful way to express feelings, give a sense of a loved one's style or personality, and even be chosen to fit in to the family home.

Urn colors can evoke an emotion or a mood. Lighter colors tend to express a feeling of tranquility, while intense, brighter shades can express energy and intensity. Warm colors like red, orange and yellow can result in feelings of comfort or warmth. Cooler colors like blue, green and violet can create feelings of calmness or serenity.

Three ways to personalize a cremation urn are: engrave the loved one’s name or a meaningful message, choose a urn with a theme that reflect the loved one’s life or passions, or choose an urn style--such as a raku ceramic urn--that shows a person’s style.
