By Sharron Cantu


Modern interment containers have evolved from the classic style and are now found in a larger variety than at any other time. Whether one chooses to have their remains held in a special vessel or in a casket to be buried, entombed or dispersed, the manner in which it is done can be personalized in many ways. Metal cremation urns are a beautifully tasteful way in which to spend eternity.

For the majority of individuals, the selection of one's eternal resting place is a decision that is largely influenced by the personality of the one for whom it is meant. It is a comfort to have a container that somehow represents the loved one inside. There are a few practical factors that a person should take into consideration when making this sort of selection.

While an interment container needs to be representative of the one held inside, it should also be in harmony with the surroundings in which is will be placed. One intended for display is best showcased when it compliments the existing decor in the space it will reside. If it is to remain outside, exposed to the elements or buried in the ground, a durable material will serve best.

Appearance is just a portion of what needs to be considered when choosing a suitable container. Making sure the material is appropriate for the intended surroundings is crucial to keeping it presentable. When it comes to metallic based vessels, some more commonly used substances are brass, copper, pewter and bronze as well as stainless steel as each one has its advantages.

To adequately fill the needs of a wide range of individual tastes and desires, these containers are manufactured in many different styles, sizes, types, styles and shapes. An always popular choice is the traditional urn that is an asset to the decor of any room. Some people opt to go for a more modernized version such as a cylinder, a box or even a specialized sculpted piece.

Containers can also be made to honor relationships or special services. If two or more individuals had a very close and special bond during life and wish to remain together even in death, they may opt to purchase a Companion Urn, which has a large enough capacity to hold the remains of multiple people. For those who served in the Armed Forces, as firemen or policemen, commemorative pieces that can be personalized with engraving or emblems.

Keepsake vessels are very popular. They come in many forms including special photo frames, in which the deceased's likeness is usually displayed, or as jewelry or memory boxes. When several survivors are requesting to possess the ashes of the same individual, this is a great way to disperse the remains between all interested parties.

Silver, brass and pewter are also quite popular materials for making keepsake jewelry that is designed to hold a very small portion of an individual's ashes. Necklaces with hollowed pendants or lockets can be filled and dispersed to multiple people who want to always keep their lost loved one close to their hearts. There are a multitude of variations on the traditional interment container.
