Deciding
what will be done with cremated remains may help you
decide what
type of urn to select. An urn can serve as an important
focal
point at a funeral or memorial service. Afterward, it can be
buried
in a family plot at a cemetery, placed in a niche at a
mausoleum, or
kept in the home. In addition, there are urn styles
that are especially
appropriate when scattering is chosen. Though
most people find it
easier to select an urn at the same time as
other funeral or memorial
arrangements are made, an urn can also
be purchased at a later time, simply contact the Cremation Society
of Los Angeles.
When
you choose an urn, you are creating a permanent memorial, one
that
reflects your loved one’s character and your personal taste.
