Urn Vaults
These urn vaults are designed to hold different size urns to protect them from decay. Use one of the vaults when burying an urn. Please check the sizes before ordering, and check with the cemetery for any necessary specifications or restrictions.
Burying a cremation urn
When you receive the cremated remains from the crematorium, the remains will usually be inside a plastic bag which is itself inside a plastic or cardboard box, known as a temporary urn. We have a few select wood urns which will hold most plastic or cardboard temporary urns, available here.
This cardboard or plastic temporary urn is perfectly suitable for ground burial, but you will want to be sure to honor your loved one in a fitting way, depending on the individual’s or the family’s wishes. Many people prefer the simplicity and affordability of burying just the temporary urn, while others prefer to honor the life of a loved one with a beautiful cremation urn preserved in a burial vault, or with an eco-friendly biodegradable urn for an organic burial.
If you are planning on burying the urn in a funeral home plot, contact the curator before selecting an urn as they may have restrictions on which types of urns they allow, or if a burial vault is required.
