Why Choose an Urn?

After the cremation process has been finalized, you will need to collect the remains from your local funeral home. In most cases, the cremated remains will come back from the crematorium in a temporary plastic or cardboard container. Most families opt in to purchase an urn following that process to help create a warm memory of a loved one. Purchasing a suitable cremation urn, may be quite distressing and overwhelming. At First Wisconsin Cremation, we try to make that process informative and simple for the end consumer.

How to Choose a Cremation Urn

Choosing a cremation urn for a loved one is a significant and emotional decision. It is important to consider your loved one's personality, style, and lifestyle when selecting a cremation urn.


First, determine the type of urn you would like to purchase. Cremation urns come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, materials, and styles. Popular materials include metal, wood, ceramic, stone, and biodegradable. The size of the urn will depend on the number of ashes it needs to hold.


It is important to consider the color of the cremation urn. Most urns are available in a variety of colors, and you can choose one that reflects the personality of your loved one. Additionally, some urns are decorated with a meaningful symbol or engraving.


When it comes to purchasing a cremation urn, it is important to find one that is of high quality and that is also affordable. Consider shopping online, as this can be a convenient and cost-effective way to purchase an urn.


Finally, consider any special instructions for the cremation urn. If your loved one has any specific requests for the urn, make sure that the provider is aware of and able to fulfill them.


By keeping in mind these tips, you can select an appropriate and meaningful cremation urn for your loved one.

What Else to Consider When Choosing a Cremation Urn?

The first thing to consider is the size of the urn. We have different sizes of urns available, from adult, extra-large, medium, and keepsake urns. Selecting the most appropriate size for your loved one will require you to know his/her approximate weight before cremation to avoid throwing away any ashes that don’t fit in the urn.


The second thing to consider is how you intend to use the urn. If you want to keep it, we recommend you go for durable and stylish options for display at home. If you wish to scatter the ashes, scattering tubes and eco urns would be the most preferred. Keepsake urns and jewelry are appropriate for family members who want
to share cremated remains.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What will you do with the remains?

    Select an appropriate urn depending on your decision regarding the final disposition. If you are planning to display the urn at your home itself, you may lean toward looking for more of an attractive yet thoughtful item. You can opt for a nature-themed urn for a loved one who admired scenic beauty. Besides, you may select a religious, veteran, hobby, sports, infant (for holding the ashes of a child), or companion urn (for storing the cremains of a couple).

  • How do I determine the size of item(s) required to hold the remains?

    Created remains generally weigh 3-7 pounds and require about 180-220 cubic inches of capacity. Mostly all of our full size urns will accommodate this space. Please view our individual product pages in order to confirm this.



  • What shape, size, and material you are looking for?

    Cremation items come in many different shapes, sizes as well as materials. Choose the options that will best describe your loved one. Ask yourselves questions in order to find the best choice for you. We keep all of these details on each product page.

  • Should I take quality into consideration?

    Cremation urns are mostly made of wood, ceramic, granite, copper, bronze, brass, glass, porcelain, marble, etc. Choose a material that suits your loved one best. Wooden urns, for example, are not likely to be durable when displayed in an outdoor setting. Similarly, brass urns are not usually recommended for burial, due to material limitations and corrosion.

  • How do I personalize an urn?

    Want something personal? Opt in for our personalization options on the checkout page that will allow you to engraving with a name, Bible verse, a few words about the deceased or maybe even artwork. Some cremation urns also feature frames in which you can insert a photo of your loved one.
