If you need to arrange a funeral for a loved one, let us help with what happens next.

Urns

Urn is the term used for a vessel to contain the ashes of a loved one.

There are many different types of urn to choose from, some intended for permanent retention, whilst others may be simply used as a more temporary container until such time as you wish the ashes to go to their final resting place.

If you intend to scatter or buy the ashes, please visit our scattering ashes page or our buying ashes page.

We have a wide range of urns, including wooden hand crafted urns and natural, eco-friendly urns. There are also a range of alternatives available, such as keepsakes and jewellery. Please talk to us and we will be happy to show you the choices available.

Please find below some examples of the types of urns available.
