Wood urns are popular because they are what so many people think of when they think of an urn. Marble and brass are both popular materials as well, but they do not provide the customization and personalization options that wood provides.

Engraving has become a fairly sophisticated process for custom wood urns. With machine’s that rival the precision of the space shuttle, the letters, photos and illustrations are very precise and of the highest quality.

Often an engraving on an urn will be accompanied by an engraved nameplate, that will be secured next to the inscription on the urn. This can be done, or you can have the name, birth and passing dates engraved on the urn as well. Not only are many fonts to choose from, there are also several images such as roses, military seals and other memorial icons to choose from.

In the Light Urns provides free engraving on all wood urns. They have several engraving machines on site, so that if you need an urn rushed to you or your local funeral home, In the Light Urns can have it to you very fast. Overnight shipping is free in California and standard shipping is also free anywhere in the US or Canada.

Although engraving is a popular and affordable way to personalize an urn made of wood, options such as securing a statue or special object to the top of an urn is also a choice. Sometimes a family will choose an urn that has a ball stand on top of the wood urn and then place the baseball or basketball of the passed on top. You may find this approach to be a loving and appropriate tribute to your loved one.

Why a custom urn? Custom urns are one-of-a-kind and are your own. People who played sports such as baseball, hockey or golf can find an urn to reflect that life style.

When choosing a custom cremation urn be sure to note the size of the cremains will relate to the size of the urn. Generally the rule for sizing the cremation urn that you need is:
1 cubic inch of space = 1 pound of living weight

For example, a person weighing 200 lbs when they passes will need an urn that is 200 cubic inches in size. This rule is also useful if you are dividing the remains between loved ones. For example, 5 people would need 40 cubic inch urns. When creating custom urns, the space for the remains is very important and is the essence of the personalization. The price your family is looking for depends in part on the size urn you are looking for.

Custom Urns are becoming more and more popular. In part because the indsutry is dramatically expanding and manufacturers and distributors are reacting to the demand of the need for custom urns. We at In the Light Urns will continue to discuss the cremation urn industry and strive to bring our customers the very best selection of custom urns.
