\nThe cremation urns capacity is measured by using cubic inches. The most common method is to determine the persons weight at the time of cremation. Every one pound of weight will require one cubic inch in volume, therefore, if a person weighs 160 pounds at time of cremation, then a 160 cubic inch urn will meet your needs.<\/p>\n
\nMany families choose to share in the remembrance. We offer several smaller size urns to be used as keepsakes. You may also desire to scatter some of the remains in a favorite or cherished place.<\/p>\n
\nMany people choose to scatter their loved ones’ remains at sea. If you choose to do this or on public land, be sure to check local, state and federal laws first. If on private property other than your own, always get permission from the owner.<\/p>\n
\nSeveral types of cremation services are available. You can have a “direct cremation” where the service is performed after the cremation. You can have a traditional funeral with a viewing first with the cremation taking place afterwards. Talk to your funeral director to discuss all of the available options regarding cremation.<\/p>\n
\nNo. By law, the remains are required to be placed in a plastic bag. If no urn is available the remains are then put into a plain box or container if and until an urn is available, which at that time may charge a fee for the service.<\/p>\n
\nYour local funeral home or crematory should be able do this for you. There may be a charge for this service. It is illegal under US Federal Law for a funeral home to deny a service because you did not purchase the urn from them.<\/p>\n
\nNo way, pets are loved ones too, making them just as special! Having an urn for a pet is a great alternative for taxidermy.<\/p>\n
