The urn that holds the ashes of a departed loved one can be made into a work of art. Minding their personality and personal preferences will allow you to create a small memorial of their life. There are several ways to accomplish this that are both easy and effective. 

How to Personalize an Urn

1. Background & Interests

Manufacturers now design a variety of captivating options for urns. To choose the best one for the departed, think about their nature, hobbies and talents, and their accomplishments. For an outdoor enthusiast, opt for a hand-painted landscape scene. Family members of veterans, on the other hand, may want something patriotic, such as a model featuring the colors of the flag. For someone known for their sense of humor, don't be afraid to choose something whimsical.

2. Wording

Laser engraving makes it possible for you to have names, dates, or phrases added to an urn. To help you decide what to say, think about what you would put on a traditional headstone and go off that. If your loved one was in the military, incorporate their enlistment dates and the seal of their military branch on the receptacle. 

3. Placement

urnDid your loved one have a favorite spot in your house? Maybe they had a den where they would watch movies, or they loved cuddling up by the fire on chilly nights. Keep these details in mind as you secure a location for their final resting place.
