What do the urns weigh?   Back
All our urns will provide you with this information right next to the urn; it depends on the material used.

How do I get the ashes in the urn?    Back
The funeral home or crematory can place the ashes in the urn; or in case the remains are already at home we recommend asking a friend if you do not feel comfortable.
 
How do I know if all of the ashes will fit?    Back
For an adult person you need an urn above 170 cubic inches. Our rule of thumb is 1 pound of body weight for 1 cubc inch a little less (200 lbs. = 190 cubic inches)

How do cremation urns open?    Back
All our urns will provide you with this information right next to the urn. Usually they open from the top, back or bottom.

Do you recommend sealing the urn?    Back
You do not have to seal the urn but in case you want to we recommend a silicon caulking; which can be found at your local Home Depot or Wal Mart.

Can you tell me what a keepsake urn is?    Back
A keepsake urn is just for a small amount of remains; perfect for a office or if you scatter the ashes and would like to keep a small amount with you. With a keepsake urn you can create a small memorial for your memory. As example we have some customers which split the ashes up between siblings.

How do I know which urn can be engraved by Memorials.com?    Back
All our urns have either a link for you to select an urn engraving or a metal, wood or marble easel or an engraving plaque.

Who would you recommend for engraving my urn?    Back
If we don't engrave the urn or you decide after you have received the urn you would like an engraving our recommendation would be a trophy shop or a local jewelery store.

Can you send me an urn catalog?    Back
We have our catalog online; that is how we keep our prices low. In case you have any questions just give us a call and we will gladly answer any questions you have.

Is there any guarantee on the urns?    Back
We guarantee the urns to be without any defects. Please read our guarantees on this subject.
