How Do I Purchase A Cremation Urn?

The loss of a loved one is an experience that few of us are prepared for and often times we are equally unprepared for the decisions that need to be made upon the death of our loved one. One of those decisions that are imminent is choosing a resting place for the cremated ashes of those that have passed. Everlasting Memories has worked diligently to provide our customers with an easy to navigate online store that will help you define what you're looking for and to find it with ease as we understand that you have many decisions to be made at this pivotal point in time.

One important factor to consider first and foremost is the size of urn you are looking for. Everlasting Memories has a wide array of stunning cremation urns that can be selected and purchased in a medley of different sizes. Perhaps it is your spouse that you lost and you elect to choose an urn that will not only hold their ashes but yours as well down the road. Maybe you come from a large family and have lost a grandparent and every member of the family wants a small part of the loved one to hold close. There are a number of important factors that go into selecting the size of your cremation urn and it will help to narrow down the choices if you have a clear decision on the size of urn you are looking for. One other important thing to note and remember is that one pound of body weight is equivalent to approximately one cubic inch of ash. So if you are searching for an individual crematory urn and your loved one weighed 200 pounds you would want an urn that will hold about 200 cubic inches of cremated ashes.

Once you have decided on the size of cremation urn the next step would be to choose the medium or the material that best suits your own taste. Everlasting Memories carries a beautiful selection of cremation urns that are available in hardwood such as oak, cherry, maple and others. These exquisite hardwood crematory urns can sometimes be chosen with the stain and make for a natural and lovely resting place. We also have an array of metal cremation urns in brass, stainless steel and others. These exceptional urns are often bottom loading and can hold the cremains of one or more individuals in some cases. Marble urns for ashes and sculpture urns are other favorites and would make beautiful additions to a formal room as well as a personal and warm resting place for the cremated remains of your loved one.

Everlasting Memories has a wide variety of urns such as:

• hardwood
• marble
• metal

After you have narrowed down the size and medium of crematory urn that you are searching for it is best to look at what is available given those factors and narrow down your choices to two or three urns that will fit your needs. In some cases, urns cannot be express ordered or may be on back order and it is best to have a back-up that you like just as well. Speaking with one of our customer service representatives may give you more insight as to specifications about your urn, how it loads and what sort of customization options are available. If you are having trouble locating exactly what you're searching for, again, we suggest that you contact our customer service and they will be happy to assist you.

Shipping options may weigh in heavily on your urn choice as well. In most cases your cremation urn can be shipped within twenty four to forty eight hours and will arrive in three to five business days when being delivered in the continental United States. However, if you need the cremation urn for a memorial service or would simply prefer to have it sooner rather than later we do offer a medley of shipping options that make for a quick delivery of your individual cremation urn. We offer overnight shipping as well as two day air for many of our urns and we also ship internationally to Canada, Europe and other countries. Standard international shipping rates and delivery times do apply so please be aware of the international shipping policies when it comes to delivery overseas.

Once you have decided on your urn and have completed the checkout process the rest is in our hands. We will process your order the same day we receive it Monday thru Friday. All orders placed on the weekend are typically not processed until Monday morning except for in special instances. As stated previously, our cremation urns are generally ready for shipment within twenty four to forty eight hours after processing your order and you can expect to receive your urn in three to five business days if delivery is inside the continental United States. We do send out tracking information on your companion cremation urn to keep you informed and invite you to call with any questions.

Everlasting Memories has a beautiful selection of cremation urns that will fit a variety of needs. Our line of urns includes individual and companion crematory urns in addition to keepsake, child, military and others. These exceptional urns for ashes can be selected and purchased in different mediums and materials and make for a stunning addition to your decor. You can choose customization or personalization for your urn in some instances such as adding a small brass or silver plate to the front or top of your urn. This plate can be engraved with a name, date or small sentiment in memorandum of your loved one.
