Creative Urns For Cremation Services
If you are looking to plan your own cremation services in Lancaster, NC, the packages you see from the funeral home include everything you need. The most basic packages even include a simple container for your remains after the cremation process takes place. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do something more significant for yourself. When you are planning in advance, you have time on your side. While you can certainly browse urns of all different types, materials, colors, and styles, there are more creative options that might suit you even better. Here are a few options to consider.
A False Book
Hollowed out books make great money-hiding devices in the movies, but you can order a custom-made false book for remains as well. You can get a book with about any cover or title, including your favorite. When your ashes are placed inside, your family can store you at home without making it obvious to visitors. Plus, when you have your ashes inside your favorite book, people will remember how much you loved that book and to read in general.
Stuffed Animal Urns
If you want your loved ones to be able to keep your remains, and even give you a hug, in a way, you might consider stuffed animal urns. These are most commonly used for children who have passed away, but adults can leave one behind with their wishes to be placed inside as well. The stuffed animals is used for a bag of ashes or a small urn, which are sewn into the animal with the stuffing. It’s another covert way for family members to keep you close without it being obvious to others. And it’s a really nice thing to snuggle and hug when you’re feeling down.
An Instrument
Any instrument that has some kind of hollow area can have cremated remains placed and sealed inside. Guitars are great for this. You can have your ashes placed in an urn inside and then the guitar could be hung on the wall like a piece of art, with you included. Brass instruments are also easy to utilize for holding remains. If you loved planning a certain instrument, or always loved the sound of something specific, having your ashes inside that instrument when you pass is a nice thought.
