Losing a loved one is always challenging, but memorializing them will help comfort friends and family. If the person who passed was cremated, one way to keep their memories near is to display their cremation urn. To help you decide the best way to showcase your loved one’s remains, consider the following tips.

How to Find the Best Place for a Cremation Urn

1. Choose a Room

The first step in displaying an urn in your home is selecting a room. For some, having the container in a high-traffic area to ensure it's visible for family and guests is the priority. However, if you prefer a more private location, a bedroom or office may be more appropriate. If you can't decide on a room, think about where your loved one liked to spend their time. For instance, if they enjoyed cooking, display their cremation urn in the kitchen.

2. Match the Urn to Your Decor

To prevent the cremation urn from looking out of place, choose a style that complements your home decor. Fortunately, these containers are available in a wide variety of styles, colors, and materials, so you're sure to find one that blends into the room. For instance, select a wooden urn if your home has a rustic feel, or pick a metal one for a contemporary look.

3. Choose a Low-Traffic Location

Urns are breakable, so try to keep your loved one's remains safe by placing the container in a low-traffic area. Though you want to keep it visible for family and guests, you should also move it out of reach of children and pets. Finally, place it on a stable surface that isn't likely to shake and cause the urn to topple.
