Add Warmth to Memories With a Wooden Urn

Cremation urns offer families the option of having the cremated ashes of their loved one in their home. The variety of urns available on the market today includes a wide assortment of ceramic, sculpture and other types of urns that will hold anywhere from a few cubic inches of cremains to the cremated ashes of two individuals.

Wooden urns continue to be a popular option as the warmth and durability of wood is appealing to many. There are a wide range of options available with wooden cremation urns and this versatility allows for a personal and customized representation of the deceased.

There are several different types of hardwood to choose from when selecting a wooden urn. Maple wooden funeral urns are a light and understated way to hold the cremated ashes of a loved one and are an ideal option for those that love the look of pale wood.

Darker woods such as cherry and rosewood give a wooden cremation urn a richness and depth that isn't found in lighter natural hardwoods. Turned wooden urns take an ordinary wooden urn box and shape it into a cylindrical work of art that makes for a focal point in any home.

Individual urns are available in a wide assortment of hardwoods such as:

• Oak
• Maple
• Cherry, rosewood and many more

Not just for humans but as a remembrance for pets

Wood memorial urns may also be used to honor the smaller members of a family. Wooden pet urns have ample interior space to hold the cremated ashes of a pet and can typically be customized with an engraved plate or laser engraved art work.

Whether selecting a wooden pet urn for a cat, turtle, bird or other animal or choosing from a selection of wooden dog urns, creating a resting place for the ashes of a pet should bring a measure of comfort to all members of the family.
