How long do ashes last?
Cremains can last for a long time in a cremation urn with good airtight seals. Archaeologists have found the remains of cremated individuals thousands of years old.
The airtightness of the urn is crucial in determining how long your cremains might last. While it’s difficult to decide on an exact time frame, experts say that cremains in a sealed urn can last 50 to 100 years. However, if you want your loved ones’ ashes to be around long after you’re gone, it’s best to invest in a high-quality glass urn that can be sealed shut.
For this reason, some people like to add clear drying glue when sealing the urn lid.
One thing to keep in mind is that even though glass cremation urns can last a long time, they are still susceptible to breakage. It’s important to handle them with care and store them in a safe place.
