Answer the questions by writing them down on a list. As you write down ideas, you will be able to visualize the perfect urn.

What did you love most about them?
There may be several qualities that stand out when you think of your lost loved one. Perhaps, it was the way they smiled or made you laugh. Maybe, it was their candid honesty or cheerful spirit. It could be the way they would light up a room with their presence or their sea blue eyes. You may not be able to choose just one favorite quality about your loved one. That's okay. Write down as many things as you can think of.

What sets them apart from the crowd?
Next make a list of all the qualities that made them unusual, their quirks, habits and preferences. Put things on the list even if it was not a character quality that you liked. Just because it's on the list doesn't mean you must use it to select the right urn; it is merely on the list to help guide you. 

What activities did they enjoy?
The activities that a person invests time in speak volumes about who they are as a person. These activities could be sports, hobbies, games, going to the opera, hanging out with friends, or another regularly occurring event that took up a fair amount of their time. At Memorials.com, we have unique and keepsake urns that could memorialize these activities.

What types of groups did they hang out with?
If your loved one spent a lot of time with a particular group, that too could give a clue to the perfect unique cremation urn for the ashes of your deceased person. It could be a religious group, a political gathering, a poker game with the boys, an animal shelter or any other group.

Where did they live or like to travel?
There are unique cremation urns that can highlight places your loved one has lived or traveled. Make a list of some of their favorite destinations.
