Talking to the living about cremation urns might seem a rather odd thing to do. It seems so at first, but in reality it is a logical and forward thinking subject.

Everyone who has gone through the devastating process of losing a loved one knows that it is a traumatic time when nobody thinks very logically. However, in life we pick out what car we want to buy, the home we want; we are very verbal about our likes and dislikes in clothes. Nobody finds that strange.

So actually expressing your wishes about what should be done in the unfortunate event of your death is not macabre or sombre. Think of it this way, you get to make your personal choice of cremation urn and make the important decisions so that your loved ones don?t have to.

It can be a way to let your family and loved ones know what you like and want should the unforeseen happen. It simply makes things so much easier for people when they don?t have to organise something like this during a time of grief.

State your wishes

You don’t exactly have to call the family together and state that you want to plan your funeral, instead simply browse the online gallery we have available at Lay to Rest and get ideas about what sort of urn you prefer.

There is so much choice at Lay to Rest from decorative urns, designer urns and speciality urns because everyone is unique and deserves to have a an urn which celebrates that.

We also have biodegradable cremation urns for those that prefer to be buried in an environmentally friendly manner. Cremation urns are a way to celebrate life and a wonderful, personal way for people to honour you.
