Top Ways to Personalize a Person’s Urn for a Cremation Service

January 10, 2022 Jeffrey Wiecek

Are you going to plan to bring your loved one’s cremated remains home with you following their cremation service in Bronx, NY? Then you should make sure that you have them placed into a cremation urn first. You should also be sure that you invest in one of the best urns that many can buy. Ideally, you should look into personalizing a loved one’s urn to make it unique to them. It’s a wonderful way to pay tribute to them. Check out a few of the top ways to personalize a person’s urn for a cremation service.

Begin by deciding which kind of cremation urn you want to get for them.

When you first go to buy a Bronx, NY cremation urn for your loved one, you’re going to be surprised to see how many different kinds of them there are. You can get anything from a basic metal urn to a more decorative wooden urn. The choice is yours. You should think about which materials you want to see used to make your loved one’s cremation urn. It’ll be the first big decision that you’ll have to make when you’re personalizing an urn.

Choose a cremation urn that is the right shape.

Once you know what kind of cremation urn that you want to purchase for your loved one, the next thing you should do is choose which shape you want it to be in. Most people automatically imagine an urn in the shape of the urns that they’ve seen on TV and in movies. But you can also find urns in just about any other shape that you might want. You should give some thought to where you’re going to put an urn and find a shape that will work well in that particular space.

Try to make their cremation urn their favorite color.

One of the easiest ways to personalize a loved one’s urn is by making it their favorite color. Assuming that you know what your loved one’s favorite color was, you should either choose an urn that is already that color or see if you can arrange to have an urn customized to be their favorite color. You’ll be reminded of your loved one each and every time that you see their urn when it’s made to be the color that they liked the most.

Have their cremation urn engraved with their name and whatever else you might want to put on it.

The final thing you should do when you’re trying to personalize a loved one’s urn is have it engraved. You can have their name, the dates of their birth and death, and even a special quote engraved right on their urn. You might even want to go as far as to have a photo of your loved one or some other kind of photo engraved on their urn. This will really take your personalization of your loved one’s urn to the next level.

At Riverdale-on-Hudson Funeral Home, Inc., we can assist families with each and every aspect of cremation services. From picking out urns to planning actual Bronx, NY cremations, we can do it all. Contact us now to learn more about what our funeral home can offer to you and your family.
