Urns for Men

An adult urn is the correct size for most men -- especially if he was six feet or under in height prior to cremation. The best selection of urns for men are available in adult size. A man who was very tall might need an extra large cremation urn, so you will want to focus that size.

The best cremation urns to honor a grandfather or father usually have some element that reminds you of him. The color of the cremation urn might be important such as a deep blue metal urn or a black marble urn -- giving that sense of his steady presence. If he was outdoorsy, a wood urn such as the Arden Walnut Urn or the In the Woods Inlay Urn might bring comfort. Urns that reflect popular men's hobbies can pay tribute to them such as the Gone Fishing Aluminum Urn, the Golfer Cremation Urn for Ashes, or the Classic Camouflage Urn.

Popular colors for men's urns for ashes include black urns, navy blue urns, cobalt blue cremation urns, and of course the classic metal finishes such as pewter urns and gold urns. Two very popular cremation urn choices for men are the Three Bands Urn in Pewter - Extra Large and Navy Olympus Cultured Marble Urn.

When you engrave an urn for a man, you will want the standard personal details such as first, middle and last name as well as birth and death dates. But you might also want to include phrases such as Beloved Father, Dad & Granddad, Our Papa, or similar sentiments. Artwork engraved on cremation urns also can remind you of this man in your life with images and symbols such as a tree, deer, sailboat, heart, or military emblem.
