In
researching the emotional value of urns, the what/why people choose
urns verses holding onto that little white box we found this: "Cost may
be a factor in choosing an urn. However, too often family members
choose not to purchase an urn simply because
they don't see anything they like or they don't perceive any of the
urns available to them as being reflective of their loved one."
Q: Our
firm has a hard time selling cremation urns. It seems as though many
families are satisfied with the container. Can you share some
information on how to effectively convey the value of a cremation urn?
A: The most recent industry research (a 2006
Disposition, Container and Service Survey conducted by the Cremation
Association of North America) indicates that approximately 60 percent of
families selected a cremation urn vs. a temporary container. Though
more urns are being purchased now than in previous years, there are
still families who do not see value in a permanent urn for their loved
one.
A permanent urn serves as a protective container and becomes a
treasured memorial for a loved one that will last for generations. A
plastic or cardboard container is a temporary receptacle that houses the
cremated remains until a permanent urn is chosen.
Cost may be a factor in choosing an urn. However, too often family
members choose not to purchase an urn simply because they don't see
anything they like or they don't perceive any of the urns available to
them as being reflective of their loved one.

This is an important point to make in why we have decided to pursue our ideas for cremation urns...we hope to change the notion of the typical urn form found in traditional urns, by creating works that are out-of-the-ordinary and
down-to-earth…sculptural urns that are honest in subject, but discreet
in function. It is our vision to create endearing pieces that match the
personality or interests of the individual, while also serving as an
artistic element among home décor. Our goal is to provide to families heirloom-quality works of art that have a distinctive presence that they can feel a connection to,
find comfort in, and have stories for generations to come.
