All funeral homes are
required by law to accept urns from a third party without charging a
handling fee. The Federal Trade Commission enforces the law.
Because we specialize in memorial products, while funeral homes offer
broader services, we can better serve our clients with lower prices, wider
variety, and broader custom options.
ValdostaMemorials.com will assist you in selecting an urn that best
reflects an individual’s unique tastes.
The first consideration when choosing an urn is the type of service. As a
matter of personal decision or religious belief, some people opt for
cremation before the service while others opt for it after the service so
the body is present.
In the latter, a combustible casket (usually wood) is chosen for the
ceremony and normally serves as the cremation container as well.
Traditional wood caskets can
usually be used for this purpose. In addition, cremation caskets,
specially designed for combustion, may be used.
If the deceased is cremated before the service, an urn with the remains is
usually the focal point of the service. |

Regardless of the point at which the deceased is cremated, most people
choose a decorative urn for the remains. Urns are typically placed in
mausoleums or homes, or they may be buried in cemetery plots.
ValdostaMemorials.com offers urns in countless varieties and materials.
Bronze, wood, and marble are popular choices. Other options include cast
acrylic, which has a unique crystal appearance, and cloisonné, a
decorative enamel surface that incorporates fine wire into the design. |
