When it comes to modern interment vessels, there are so many more options and variations available than ever before. Whether an individual opts to have their remains placed in a casket or in a decorative container; to have them buried, entombed or spread to the winds, there are multiple ways to personalize the occasion. For many, beautiful and classic metal cremation urns are the resting place of choice.
For the majority of individuals, the selection of one's eternal resting place is a decision that is largely influenced by the personality of the one for whom it is meant. It is a comfort to have a container that somehow represents the loved one inside. There are a few practical factors that a person should take into consideration when making this sort of selection.
In addition to properly representing the individual inside, interment vessels need to be fitting to the circumstances in which it is stored. If the intention is to have it openly displayed, it should be pleasing to the eye and complementary to the surrounding decor. Containers being buried are best constructed from highly durable materials.
The way a vessel looks is the first thing one notices but it should not be the only factor considered. For the best results, the housing circumstances would need to be reviewed and the container made from a suitable material. In the manufacturing of metallic based ash vaults, stainless steel, pewter, bronze, brass and copper are some of the more popular selections.
Ash containers come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, types and styles to fit the many different needs and desires of all sorts of people. There are, of course, the traditionally classic vase type containers that look absolutely amazing in a display case or as part of a room's decor. These can also be found in a variety of more modern and updated designs such as boxes, cylinders or sculpted pieces.
Eternal resting vessels are also a beautiful way to pay respect to a special part of one's life. Some people who have shared a very special relationship in life often choose to be together after death so they opt to be placed in a Companion Urn which is specially designed to house multiple individuals. When the deceased was a firefighter, rescue worker, police officer, military personnel or worked in any other service field, their container may be emblazoned with emblems or engraved to show respect.
Keepsake ash holders have been growing in popularity in recent years. These often take the shape of jewelery boxes or as photo frames in which a photo of the deceased may be displayed in remembrance. This is a very common choice in situations when multiple survivors wish to retain a portion of their loved one's remains as a small amount of ashes can be placed in several containers.
Silver, brass and pewter are also quite popular materials for making keepsake jewelry that is designed to hold a very small portion of an individual's ashes. Necklaces with hollowed pendants or lockets can be filled and dispersed to multiple people who want to always keep their lost loved one close to their hearts. There are a multitude of variations on the traditional interment container.
