Things To Know About Using Ceramic Funerary Urns

By Sally Delacruz


It can be a major challenge to find the best vessel for storing the ashes of a recently departed family member or friend. There are tons of things that you have to think about. This is usually the case with ceramic funerary urns. Products like these have a lot of aesthetic merit. There aren't, however, well-suited to all buyer's purposes.

What you intend to do with ashes after you have placed them in a container will have a significant impact on the design you select. There are a number of legal restrictions concerning the disbursement or scattering of cremated ashes. This is largely due to the number of toxins that they contain from the embalming chemicals that are frequently used to prepare bodies for the last viewing.

A lot of consumers want to scatter the ashes of their loved ones in the ocean. They often thing that they can do this from a local shore by simply emptying their urns into the waters. While this notion is sentimental, it is not legal to do this. You can incur penalties and stiff fines as a result of these actions.

Even though it is not good to scatter ashes in this way, this does not mean that there aren't acceptable ways to place ashes in the sea. These must be taken three mile from the shore. You will also have to place the ashes in an acceptable container before letting them go and you must not empty them out from this container. This must be water tight and capable of biodegrading. When all requirements are met, the urn will usually fall to the bottom of the ocean where it can degrade over time. This causes the ashes to be released slowly so that they are not harming the environment.

Some consumers want more conventional burial services and thus, they choose to purchase small-sized plots. They can inter the remains of their family members in columbarium niches or in garden-style plots. It will be necessary to have an urn that is small in size if using a columbarium. Urns for garden plots, however, can be a bit bigger.

Whether or not ceramic is the ideal material for these purposes will be dependent upon the rules and regulations of the cemetery you are using. Thus, it is always important to talk with a cemetery employee before investing in any costly containment units. You may be able to get the information that you need by visiting the company website or by asking for a pamphlet or brochure.

If you want to keep these ashes in your abode, however, you must make sure to store them in a container that cannot be broken. Thicker ceramic designs could be best. You will also need to put these in a place where pets and small children will not tamper with them or tip them over.

Shopping the web will allow you to access a larger selection of these goods. You can also find great prices by using web-based sellers, given that they do not pay a lot to operate their businesses. When working with these entities, however, you should always consider the related shipping costs for having your urn sent to you and how these charges will impact your savings.
