When you decide on cremation services in Haltom City, TX for a loved one who has passed on, there are many different things you can do for them from there. You will choose a cremation package, for example, and you might want to add an urn to that package. The cremation packages are all-inclusive and come with everything your love done has to have. But you can add whatever you want to that package. While it will come with a simple container for remains, you can get an urn of your choice instead. But you can also use other things for an urn as well. Here are some creative urn option ideas.
One way to make urns unique, if you go with an urn, is to get one you can engrave or even place a picture one. The picture can be anything you’d like from an angel or a cross to your loved one or a sports emblem they would appreciate. You can engrave their name, a saying, a verse, or anything else that reminds you of them. That can make what was otherwise an ordinary urn completely customized and unique.
Your loved one might have had a certain hobby and you can use an urn from that hobby, perhaps, as their container. If they were into fishing, you can use their tackle box. If they could fix anything, their toolbox can make a great urn. If they baked cookies regularly, find a cookie jar they would have appreciated. There are nearly endless options for things you can use as a customized urn to denote their hobby.
There are many avid readers in this world and if your loved one always had their nose in a book, perhaps you feel like they would be the most comfortable with a book urn. You can choose the title and have a book hollowed out so you can place their ashes inside. There are also book urns that are already created and just waiting to be chosen for your loved one.
One thing you might want more than anything else is the ability to give your loved one a hug once more time. If you place them in an urn that can then be sewn into a teddy bear, in a way, you can. That cuddly animal is something you can set on your bed or anywhere else in your house. It’s a nice memorial to them, a unique container, and something you can appreciate at the same time.
Your loved one’s remains can be placed into liquid glass and infused into a special container. You can use some of their ashes that way and place the rest of them in the container once it’s created.
There are tons of smaller urns on the market as well and you can place your loved one’s remains in a few of those so you can spread them to other family members after cremation services in Haltom City, TX. Contact the professionals at Alpine Funeral Home for your inquiries.
