Jewelry Urns Blog

Recently I came across an article in Visalia, CA that showed a story of a man that kept his wife’s remains in a card board box in his closet. I was deeply struck by the issue that sometimes families do not have enough money to pay for a funeral. Visalia Times-Delta reports that cremation can save families money. With it costing as little as $1,195, compared to the national average for a traditional burial $7,300. After paying approximately $1,200 for cremation, there are several discount urns that can save you money. Many urns can cost above $200, but these affordable brass urns sell for just $89. That is well below what is available at the majority of funeral homes. I encourage you to shop for an urn and find something that can be personalized and that costs a reasonable amount of money.

Discount Urn $89

Why are urns so expensive? This is a great question. Why do some funeral homes charge such expensive rates for memorials. The answer is both because they have a brick and mortar business that must pay for itself. On the other hand, some companies take advantage of people during their time of loss. If you feel you are not being treat with the proper respect, feel free to consider other options such as shopping online or purchasing your urn from another funeral home.

In the Light Urns has created a valuable article that discusses the steps that need to be taken after losing a loved one. Our goal at Jewelry Urns is be as helpful as possible after your loss. Please feel free to contact us with any questions at 800-757-3488.

Three Rivers, CA (PRWEB) April 29, 2009 — In the Light Urns, a memorial products store has launched a new biodegradable and green cremation urn line that will assist families during the recession.

Susan Fraser, the company owner, had a vision to provide a line that is a fraction of the cost of traditional urns and keepsakes. On April 15th, 2009 ILU released an exclusive and affordable line of green cremation urns.

Generally this kind of cremation jewelry can be for both people and pets. But if you’re interested in seeing a specifically pet selection have a look at our pet cremation urn site.

Jewelry Urns are cremation pendants that carry ashes or a memento of some type (hair or crushed flowers). Usually the whole of the ashes of a passed loved one will not be spread across several cremation necklaces. The reason for this is because the remains of a cremated person are quite large and generally will result in a cubic square inch per pound of weight, before the person passed. In other words, if a person weighed 150 pounds when they died, their ashes would be about 150 square inches. And most necklace urns are barely one cubic inch. Often there will be either a scattering of the remains or they will be kept. So necklaces will constitute only a portion of the ashes and the rest must be considered.

Cremation jewelry doesn’t always have to carry ashes. Often times people will carry a lock of hair or a flower from the ceremony. This is particularly good for people that do not feel comfortable with the concept of carrying cremains with them.

Cremation urn necklaces are at the heart of humanity and our love for people. Some of those who have lost a loved one, from the beginning of the cremation process, have considered, if not demanded that they keep a bit of the remains. The cremation jewelry market has evolved quite a bit, to provide thousands of pendants, necklaces, lockets and other jewelry, to memorialize a loved one. It has become a hugely important aspect and option in losing a loved one.

Larger cremation urns are more popular than jewelry. In America today families would prefer to keep their loved one’s remains together. And carrying cremains with you may not be palatable for some people. Nonetheless, urn necklaces and pendants have become a wonderful compliment to the traditional urn at home or in the ground concepts.

There are many different materials and styles of urn necklaces. Generally some of the most popular are in the shapes of crosses or hearts. Generally gold and silver, the more traditional jewelry materials, are more common than glass or wood. The blue cobalt glass keepsakes have seen a rise in popularity within the past 10 years. These keepsakes have a metal mold atop blue glass. Wood urn necklaces are also quite popular; perhaps because they are similar to the earth and a natural approach to preserving a loved one’s remains. Also cremation bracelets are popular.

Most cremation jewelry is designed to be worn, but necessity is the mother of invention. Today, you can purchase keychain keepsakes. Though this may be considered, by some, to be a disrespectful and trivial approach to memorializing a loved one, but the concept is quite practical. A loved ones cremains can always be with you, without the burden of a necklace or bracelet. This makes good sense and we encourage those looking for cremation jewelry to consider all their options, including key chains.

One option that we have seen is during the ceremony, the family leaves the urn out in the open, where they can have a scoop of the passed ashes and take them away. This may be particularly good in a situation, where the person wants to be remembered by everyone. If the funeral is being pre-planned, this is a great concept to bring up. Some people feel particular comfort in knowing that they are with the people they love.

Trust is very important when dealing with a passed loved one. We strongly encourage that you research the funeral home or crematorium you are working with and be sure they are reputable. Your local clergy may have useful information regarding the organization you are working with. Friends and acquaintances also may have past experiences with the funeral home or crematorium. It’s useful to know if the crematory has refrigeration and is inspected within a reasonable amount of time. You may also inquire as to the training of the individuals on staff as well carrying liability insurance. This will give you peace of mind with the final steps in memorializing your loved one. If your funeral home or crematorium is difficult to work with or refuses to answer these important questions, we suggest that you find another. The process of losing a loved is very difficult for people and some in the industry forget how important their job really is.

Jewelry Urns takes great pride in our work. This document has been written by us and attempts to shed light on the cremation keepsake and the options that families have for remembering their loved one.
