If you're considering cremation for your loved one, it's important to understand how urns work and which options are available. If you're not sure what's right for your family, we're here to give you some guidance.
What is the difference between an urn and a burial casket?
urns are smaller, lighter and more portable than burial caskets.
Caskets can be more expensive, heavier and larger than urns.
Urns are often made of metal, wood or ceramic while caskets are often made of metal or wood. Biodegradable caskets may also be available for those who wish to leave behind a smaller environmental footprint after death; these will decompose naturally over time instead of remaining in an earth-filled burial chamber forever like traditional coffins do (though there's debate over whether this actually happens).
Do people who want to be cremated have a choice about what happens to their body after cremation?
The answer is yes. You can choose to be buried or scattered. You can also have a service and/or a casket, but if you don't want one, that's fine too! If you do opt for cremation, there are options when it comes to storage and final disposition. For example:
Urns - Some people prefer to keep their loved ones' ashes in an urn at home; others find comfort knowing that their loved one's ashes are spread somewhere meaningful (like on top of a mountain).
Memorialization - Some families choose memorialization services as part of their grieving process; these may include scattering ashes at sea or having them buried underground instead of being placed in an urn at home or kept with other family members like jewellery or keepsakes would normally be kept after death.
