Why Choose a Keepsake?

A keepsake urn is different from the main cremation urn. Keepsake urns are a lot smaller by size, they are small containers that can easily be transported and transferred. Some families may want to bring a small portion of the remains home and some would wish to distribute the remains to all of the members of the family, a keepsake urn will be their best option. At First Wisconsin Cremation, we try to make that process informative and simple for the end consumer.

What to Consider When Choosing a Keepsake Urn

Although choosing the perfect keepsake urn depends on personal taste, we consider several things when helping you choose one.

First, we’ll ask you what materials you’d prefer. Materials used to manufacture our urns include metal, wood, and ceramic. Your preferred choice will depend on whether you want to display the remains in a prominent place in your home or if you want to scatter the ashes after some time. We also have eco-water urns for scattering the ashes in water.

The second thing we’ll consider is the size. Urns for ashes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Large sizes are ideal for adults and people who want to put the ashes of several people in one urn. Smaller keepsake urns are the best for keeping small amounts of your loved one’s ashes.

You can also add a bit of personality to the keepsake urn by engraving the name or photograph of your loved one on the urn. Some people also customize the urn into a shape that represents the deceased’s hobby. For instance, if your loved one used to play the piano, you can get a personalized keepsake urn that resembles the instrument.
