We all want to remember our loved ones in a way that feels meaningful and comforting.  So it’s understandable if you’re still unsure which urn quote is best. 

Try asking yourself, ‘What saying gives me the most comfort?’  Alternatively, seek the guidance of a close friend or family member.

Creating a shortlist of your favourite quotes will be easier with some gentle guidance. 

What’s important is that the memorial quote you choose reminds you of all the beautiful memories and laughter you once shared with your departed loved one. 

That’s why we suggest aiming for an inscription that not only honours your departed loved one’s memory but helps you move forward with courage and strength.

Today, when people make a Will, it’s not uncommon for them to include details about their funeral—whether that means cremation or burial.  Some even list their preferred headstone or cremation urn inscription, knowing it will ease the burden for grieving loved ones.  

Rebecca from Arizona shared this story with us.

“

“Mom left clear instructions in her Will for her body to be cremated.  But when we read what she wanted us to engrave on her cremation urn, we cried.  Mom requested: Finally, a smoking hot body.

We felt the inscription didn’t reflect the depth of our love and respect. Yet, that was Mom all over.  Even in death, she was larger than life.

However, Mom’s reasoning became clear many months later.  As the pain of our loss began to dull, we realised that we smiled every time we read the inscription on her urn.

Mom’s last wish was for us to remember her vibrant personality and uplifting sense of humor.”

Engraving a quote onto your loved one’s urn is a great way to personalise it, but do you know what type of urn material works best with engravings?

Most recommend choosing quality wood or brass urns. But what if you’ve fallen in love with a modern, contemporary ceramic urn?

Now you’re no longer limited to choosing metal or wood urns with a plain surface suitable for engraving.  Instead, you’re free to explore modern designs and exquisite ceramic and marble urn urns along with contemporary styles made from sustainable, eco-friendly, biodegradable material.
