They're probably the first type of urn you should seriously consider for a loved one's remains.


Wood

A wood cremation urn can warm up any space and serve as an excellent decorative feature. Wood urns aren't going to be quite as cost-effective as metal urns, and they're also going to be prone to sustaining damage if you aren't careful with them. But you'll love how easy they are to customize, and you'll also love all the different kinds of wood that can be used to make these urns.

Stone urns are created out of natural stone and will be every bit as durable as you need them to be.
