What Are The Different Types Of Cremation Urns?


The process of selecting an urn for cremation is not one that most people engage in frequently, and the wide variety of urns available can make it challenging to figure out where to begin looking. If you're wondering, "What is an urn?" or "Where can I find an urn?", look no further than Simply Cremations & Funeral Services. You'll find answers to questions like, "What choices do I have?" and many more!

What Is An Urn?

An urn for the cremains is a container designed specifically for this purpose. Wood, marble, and metal are just a few common materials used to create cremation urns, and there is a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and designs to choose from.

Ashes can be placed in a variety of cremation urns. While single-person urns are designed to hold a single set of remains, multi-person "companion urns" are created to honour the memory of a group of loved ones. Urns for children, pets, and keepsakes are made to hold a fraction of the cremains of adult urns.

Some memorial urns, like the veteran cremation, are designed to honour a specific occupation or hobby. Cremation urns come in various styles and materials so that loved ones can be memorialized in a meaningful way.

Individual Cremation Urns

It's safe to say that individual cremation urns make up the overwhelming majority of the options in this category. Ashes urns are made to hold approximately 200 cubic inches of ashes from a single cremation. A single cubic inch of cremated ashes equals roughly 1 pound of body weight.

Most agree that individual urns for ashes after cremation are the best option. Thanks to the extensive filtering options, families can zero in on precisely what they're looking for based on criteria such as their interests, favourite colours, and budget (the latter can be set using the slider on the left).

You can anticipate paying between $1,095 and $1,295 to arrange a simple, direct cremation in Calgary, Edmonton, and Red Deer metro areas.
