For those who have decided to have a loved one cremated or who are following the wishes of the deceased, it can also fall on you to decide on whether you want an urn or keepsake jewelry or mementos to hold the cremated remains. Today, there are so many options available, so it can make the decision a bit more complicated. If you are not sure about which one fits your preferences and needs best, providers of cremations and funeral homes in Old Bridge, NJ<\/a> such as Brunswick Memorial Home can help.<\/p>\n

Urns are the right option if you want to have the remains placed in a columbarium niche. For lots of people, especially those looking for more traditional options, this feels like the right thing to do. There are niches available in all manner of sizes to accommodate differently sized urns. Display urns are exactly the right option when you want to place the remains in a niche or perhaps keep them at home. Urns have the stateliness of tradition behind them, of course, and they can be a way to remind everyone of your loved one if you choose to display it. Because of the many options available, the price ranges can vary, but they can be a bit more expensive than keepsake jewelry pieces and other options.<\/p>\n

With urns, there is a bit less flexibility than with keepsake jewelry pieces. There are limitations with size and shape, as well as material, particularly if you are going to bury or en niche the urn at a cemetery or mausoleum. If you are searching for the most options and flexibility, then you possibly consider keepsake jewelry. They come in many different sizes and styles so that you can always find the most appropriate one for your taste. One great thing about keepsake pieces is that no one has to know what they are or what they hold. Sometimes, people can feel uncomfortable with urns, but that does not have to be an issue with keepsake pieces. Another excellent benefit that they can provide is the ability to share the remains with family members. If you have loved ones who want to have some of the remains, this can be typically be arranged with keepsake jewelry and other options much more easily than with urns. If your wish is to scatter the cremated remains, you can do that while keeping a bit to carry with you.<\/p>\n

Today, there is also the opportunity to have artisan glass pieces created with a portion of your loved one\u2019s remains; these can be crafted into jewelry or display pieces.<\/p>\n
