Buying a cremation urn online has become increasingly common for today's families. Not only does it save you money, but you can take more time without the pressure of in-store sales and have access to a larger variety of styles, helping you find the perfect memorial.
A thoughtful way to honor your loved one, buying an urn online is also a smooth, easy process. From sizing and materials to returns (hint: they’re easy), real people are just a phone call or email away—ready to help you.
FACT: Funeral homes are legally required to accept any container to hold your loved one's ashes. And they cannot charge you a fee to do so.
Huge Selection
The advantage to shopping for almost any product online is increased selection, and cremation urns are no exception. If your loved one liked hunting, you will be pleased to see many urns that tie in to his/her favorite hobby from camo urns to wood urns carved with a deer scene. Did Grandma like pink? You can find cremation urns in every shade of pink as well as urns with flowers, rainbows, and butterflies. Online retailers like Stardust Memorials are the best place to find the perfect urn that truly expresses the individual you loved.
FACT: A cremation urn can be shipped directly to your funeral home where they are required to handle at no additional cost.
2. Comfort of Home
Most people appreciate not having a funeral director hovering nearby as they try to choose an appropriate and meaningful urn. Often, extended family members may not be in town or able to come into a funeral home when the urn needs to be chosen. A huge advantage of an online store is you can browse the urn choices in the comfort of your home, with privacy and on your own time. You can send links to out-of-town family members or discuss on the phone while viewing the website.
FACT: Purchasing a cremation urn online can save you up to 70%
3. Lower Prices
The final reason to consider buying an urn online is no surprise: Online prices run about 50-70% less than the prices in the funeral home. And don't forget to factor in the cost of personalization. For a small fee, Stardust Memorials can engrave a loved one's name and dates on an urn—about half of what you might pay at your local engraving shop. Shipping to you or directly to the funeral home is free in the lower 48 states.
