Baby Urns: Choosing A Good One For A Dignified Sendoff

By Ann Hughes


Death in the family can certainly bring never ending grief, more so for families grappling with the loss of children. Partners who lose their infants often have to ponder how best to inter their lost loved ones for long. Some end up settling for ordinary casket burials whereas others go ahead and cremate. If you desire to have a cremation, you can get closure by taking the time to check out different baby urns and find one that is poised to be perfect for the occasion.

There are several types of urns made with the young generation in mind. When choosing one, you want to start by considering the aspect of size. The general assumption is that one pound is equal to one cubic inch. If your lost child is an infant, add a further two cubic inches to this figure. Newborns up to four months old usually have a higher ratio of bones to flesh. Bones make up most of the remains that come after cremation.

You can also buy a larger version depending on the manner in which you plan to use it. For example, some parents prefer interring their lost loved ones with mementos. In such a case, an urn that measures 25 cubic inches would be ideal. Some mementos that can fit in such a size include tooth fairy collections, baby caps and hospital bracelets. You may ask for a free bag to keep your mementos in if the store offers them as well.

There are shops that also make custom urns. If you want a painting or an engraving, inform the shop attendant about it. This is something that can be done immediately as there are machines for this purpose on standby. You may also send in your request over the phone or via email instead of going to the shop physically.

There are a number of factors one ought to bear in mind when shopping. The material used to make the product is one vital factor. Common materials include metal, stone, wood and ceramic. These days, shopping websites make shopping easy and enjoyable. You can easily filter your results based on the material you prefer.

Your selection should also be informed by the nature of your home. If your home has many youngsters, for instance, you might want to avoid buying ceramic. This material is easily breakable. The best materials in this case are granite and wood owing to their sturdiness and strength.

You should consider the manner in which you want to use your urn too. Some materials make up for great displays at home. Examples of such materials are color ceramic and vases that have been customized. Many people who do ground burials like to use granite. However, cemeteries usually require crematory vases to be stored in vaults provided burial is within their grounds. There are biodegradable vases for ground burials as well.

Regardless of how you go about it, you should find an urn that meets your expectations. It should ultimately offer a good way to remember your child. Call early if you want your order processed fast. You can also send an email over the weekend when most stores close.
