FAQs
What is the difference between brass and aluminum urns?
Both brass and aluminum are great materials for an urn. They're both strong, durable, and easily customizable, which means they come in many beautiful designs. However, aluminum is slightly more lightweight, while brass has a heavier feel to it.
Why is a brass urn considered a good purchase?
Brass urns are a good purchase because they're strong, which means the ashes inside will be safe and protected. They're also available in many different colors, so you'll have a few beautiful urns to choose from.
How do I best clean a metal urn?
The best way to clean a metal urn is to start off by gently dusting it using a soft cloth or rinsing it under running water. Once you've rinsed or wiped off the dust, you can use gentle soap and water to clean the urn. Always wipe in the direction of the polish lines rather than in a circular motion.
