Beauty and Meaning of Glass Cremation Urns
Cremation urns are valuable for remembrance and closure when a loved one dies.
There are multiple choices of cremation urns out there. They can be made of wood, metal, stone, etc.
We explain why glass urns are such a popular choice.
Visibility and Connection
Glass urns have a special feature of transparency. You can see the ashes they contain.
This makes the presence of your loved one very real and strongly felt.
Many of us can find comfort in this. You can add personal items like photos, flowers, or other small things to glass urns along with the ashes to make the memorial more intimate.
Artistry and Personalization
Glass urns are usually hand-blown by skilled artisans. To show the personality and spirit of your loved one, they can be made into almost any shape, color, or design you want.
You can go for vibrant hues or intricate patterns and styles.
Some glass urns can even be engraved or etched to make the piece even more special.
Heirloom Quality
They’re beautiful and extremely durable. They are made to last for generations as a precious heirloom.
Good glass will last for a long time, so the urn can be passed down while still holding on to the memories it holds.
You can be sure that your loved one’s resting place will always be respected and remembered by people in the future.
Versatility
Most glass urns are best kept indoors. They can look beautiful as the center of memorials and shrines in people’s homes.
Some glass urns may also be suitable for burial, niche interment in a columbarium, or scattering ashes. So there’s flexibility in how you wish to use the urn.
It’s a personal choice but choosing a cremation urn is an important process. All these qualities of a glass urn can make for a meaningful, lasting tribute.
