Where to Buy a Cremation Urn

May 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Buying cremation urns from funeral homes can get quite expensive. Funeral homes purchase their urns at wholesale prices from $3.50 to $30 and then mark them up outrageously and sell them to you, the consumer.

You can find cremation urns on the internet at much lower costs than what a funeral home will charge you. AND you will have a much larger selection to choose from.

Not only will you find metal, ceramic, and marble urns for sale on the internet, you can also find some really unique one of a kind urns such as these handmade wooden urns from Ashes2Urns Inc at www.ashes2urns.com

They make and sell beautiful urns made from logs of wood into bottle, vase, and football shapes. They also do personalized woodburning or laser engraving on their cremation urns. Their prices range from $25 to $250. Compared to urns sold through funeral homes where prices range from $200 to $1200.

If you decide to keep only a small portion of your loved ones ashes and spread the remaining ashes you can purchase a small Keepsake Urn. Keepsake Urns are small urns made to hold a small amount of ashes, or a locket of hair, or even some jewelry that was very special to your loved one.

Or sometimes family members decide to divide the ashes among a few people. They can each purchase a Keepsake Urn for a small portion of the ashes. Keepsake urns have become quite popular. Some people choose to then have the small Keepsake Urn buried with them or added to their ashes when they pass on.

When someone dies you can have them cremated and you would not have to purchase an urn immediately because the crematory will put the ashes in a plastic bag and then into a cardboard box for safe keeping until you find the perfect urn for your loved one.

This gives you some time to shop around online and choose the perfect urn for your loved one.
