When a family chooses cremation for a loved one, it necessitates the question: What will we do with the remains? What you do with the remains plays a key role in the type of urn that is right for your family. Different urns are designed with different purposes in mind, so choose an urn that is appropriate for the final disposition that you have in mind.

Scattering Urn
Families choose scattering urns as inexpensive, temporary urns to house cremated remains for a short time between the cremation itself and scattering the remains. Scattering urns are typically inexpensive urns, and they often lack embellishment as they’re only intended as a temporary means to house the remains.

Eco-Friendly Urn
An eco-friendly urn or biodegradable urn is an urn that is designed to break down quickly and easily after being buried in the earth. These urns are typically constructed from unbleached, pressed cotton, and may include a biodegradable bag to hold the remains.
