Today, many people choose cremation. One of the advantages of cremation is that it offers many options for storing ashes. This is very different from burial in a cemetery, where you have to go to a graveyard. Cremation provides the opportunity to have the remains of a loved one close at hand in the form of keepsake cremation jars. Or, many people choose to scatter the ashes in a place of great importance to loved ones. And others choose to scatter some of their ashes and keep the rest.
A cremation memorial may be in a standard urn, usually having a capacity of about 200 cubic inches. The general rule for determining the appropriate urn size is as follows: 1 cubic inch = 1 pound of human weight.
For those who wish to save some of their ashes, there are several cremation options. There are commemorative urns that are smaller than full-size urns. These can come in the form of very small containers that fit under a cup of ash. Or it can be bigger to accommodate more of them. It is an ideal choice for family and/or friends who wish to share the ashes amongst themselves. This is also a good idea for those who want to spread some of the ashes but save a little.
Another form of cremation is a memorial urn. It's glass, and its shape and shape are similar to a paperweight. Here too, the ashes are mixed into the glass in liquid form. Ash appears to have the same effect as stardust on the final product.
