For many, keeping the remains of their loved one or pet can be healing. But it can also be a source of disconnect. This is an understandable matter; many people fear spilling the remains or worry about touching exposed ash. Some are even fearful looking at the remains, as seeing bone fragments triggered violent or depressing images of the cremation process. So, for many reasons, cremated remains of a loved one or pet are often kept in basements, closets, and garages.
Urns are a long-time traditional keepsake for cremated remains, but JL Memorial is offering their own one-of-a-kind urn. Their Family Tree Urn is a unique container that celebrates the strength of the Family Tree in a beautifully hand-crafted wooden urn. Each leaf holds the ashes of your passed loved one to complete a beautiful memory for generations to come. It is designed to hold multiple family members together in one place. This urn can become a space-saving memorial for all departed loved ones.
Many find they like to have a reminder of their loved ones close to heart. Memorial jewelry, also offered at JL Memorial, is a perfect way to do that. They have many styles to choose from, too, such as rings and necklaces.
Traditional urns are a cost-effective and convenient option, especially if you like the idea of keeping the ashes nearby at home. Urns can make for a beautiful piece of décor, too, when placed in a mantel or table.
Additional types of urns are listed below:
- Biodegradable Urns: For something more natural, read about these biodegradable cremation urns
- Companion Urns: These double urns are used for two people who want to be together, or for a very large person.
- Infant Urns: For the unfortunate parents who have lost a child too soon, have a look at this baby urns guide.
You may also decide to bury the ashes and because cremation has continually increased, many cemeteries now have a section specifically for burying the ashes. Of course, the plots are much smaller, and cost less, making it more economical and environmentally friendly.
As a non-traditional and meaningful option, some people have chosen to plant their loved one’s ashes and grow a tree. Called Tree Urns, this allows your loved one to nourish and give life to a tree.
Cremation art is also a beautiful and unique option. You can also turn the ashes into a portrait, where the ashes are mixed with paint to create their portrait.
And, of course, scattering the ashes in a meaningful place is a very popular option where family and friends can get together to pay their last respects.
JL Memorial is happy to provide and inform customers of all cremation options because healing, being such a personal journey, should be full of options both traditional and not.
