Cremation has existed for nearly 20,000 years. An old practice, this alternative death ritual has become the preferred choice of many. Romans cremated their fallen military and upper class citizens, as a sign of great honor. While some may view this process as an ending, others take solace in the idea that it is rather a memorialization of a loved one. With a traditional burial, survivors often have to travel to visit the gravesite of those who have preceded them in death.
Picture this: You wish to visit the gravesite of a loved one who has preceded you in death. You need to set aside time to travel to the cemetery from your home, which could be a significant distance. You then need to locate your loved ones headstone, often times one among many that look very similar. Time that you wish you could have spent honoring and memorializing the life of your loved one has been wasted with menial and frustrating tasks. Alternatively, if cremation is chosen, the planning of visiting a loved one would never even occur as your loved one would always be with you in your home.
Gone are the times when traveling was difficult, and families often relocate to new areas. Siblings often choose to live on different coasts or relocate to be close to significant others, to attend school, or for a job opportunity. Cremating a loved one makes it possible for everyone to satisfy a longing to be close to a cherished family member. Any hesitation that might hinder a life changing opportunity can be made easier through cremation.
A beautiful memorial to honor one who has passed before us can be a simple process. By selecting a decorative urn, the memories of your loved one can live on in your heart and your home, while complementing the dcor in your home or garden. An outdoor urn can be a wonderful choice for a loved one who enjoyed nature, hiking, or gardening, or one who just enjoyed the sunshine. An urn resplendent with intricate patterns or carvings, such as a cloisonn urn, can be a nice choice for a loved one who enjoyed finer things during life. Wood urns, on the other hand, have a very traditional look, while themed urns can truly represent a loved ones time on earth. Placing an urn on a bookshelf as a bookend can be the perfect way to memorialize an avid reader.
However, urns are not simply just for cremation purposes. Many homes have decorative urns for various other purposes, and they can be used to hold flowers. Purchasing your own urn to be a decoration in your home during your life is an option that some choose to do. After you have passed on, your surviving loved ones will take comfort in knowing that you were a part of your memorialization and that you are satisfied and happy. A family members passing can be a difficult time for all involved and sometimes the best option is to arrange for the event to be as seamless and untroubling as possible.
