Consider These Cremated Remains Keepsakes

Cremation keepsake containers are more than a brass or porcelain urn perched high on a mantelpiece. There are a variety of options of cremated remains keepsakes available for holding your loved one’s remains before dispersion or forever.

For example, as many of us trend toward “going green,” there are earth-friendly cremation containers. These containers disintegrate when buried, but they are also designed to be kept for as long as you like outside the ground. Many can  be engraved with personal information about the deceased.

  • Urns made from recycled paper
  • Urns produced from cornstarch that break down once buried
  • Urns created from natural, woven fibers
  • Urns constructed of repurposed wood
  • Bio urns featuring a removable lid for ease of scattering the remains
