Selecting the perfect urn to honor your loved one is a deeply personal process, blending practicality with heartfelt meaning. At Crafted Memorials, we believe that every urn should be a timeless tribute to the life it represents. Here’s a guide to help you navigate this emotional journey and explore the options available in our exclusive collections.

Types of Cremation Urns

The type of urn you choose should align with your loved one’s personality and the way you plan to preserve their memory. Let’s explore some options from Crafted Memorials.

Individual Urns

Designed to hold the ashes of one individual, these urns typically have a capacity of 200–250 cubic inches. They offer a range of styles to match your loved one’s character.

Our Recommendation:
Urn for Ashes - Curly Maple
Handcrafted from premium solid wood, this urn is a stunning representation of elegance and simplicity. Its natural grain and warm tone make it an enduring tribute to your loved one.

Keepsake Urns

For families who wish to share the ashes, keepsake urns provide a smaller, elegant option. They hold a portion of the ashes, offering each family member a personal memorial.

Our Recommendation:
Keepsake Wooden Urn
Available in rich walnut, cherry, or classic maple, this keepsake urn is thoughtfully designed with a sliding bottom for ease of use. At $59.99, it is both affordable and exquisite.

Custom-Made Urns

A custom urn offers an opportunity to create a unique memorial that reflects your loved one’s personality or passions.

Our Recommendation:
Crafted Memorials offers personalized engraving on all wooden urns, from our Classic Collection to the Masterpiece Collection, ensuring that your tribute is as unique as the life it celebrates.
