FAQs
Can I bury my dad's urn?
Yes, you can opt to bury your dad's urn in a cemetery, which usually entails placing the urn in a burial vault. You can also bury your dad's urn on your own private property. Some people choose to bury an urn with some of the cremains and also save a small amount in a keepsake urn.
Should I buy a brass or aluminum urn for my dad?
Both brass urns and aluminum urns are good options. It will all depend on the style and design that you prefer. Aluminum is lightweight, malleable, corrosion resistant, non-magnetic, and typically the more budget-friendly option. Brass is slightly heavier than aluminum and gives off a bright golden appearance when polished. Brass can be coated in enamel or paint.
What if my dad weighed more than 300 lbs?
If your dad weighed more than 300 lbs, there is an extra large urn option available to hold the ashes of someone up to 360 lbs. You could also consider dividing your dad's ashes between multiple urns if there are family members who would each like their own urn.
