When you're looking for a cremation urn that's beautiful and affordable, ceramic urns offer a wide variety of options. Ceramics can be made in many different shapes and forms, then painted with any color and design of the artist's choosing. They are individualized through the use of airbrushing, different firing techniques, and decorative textures. This means that you have a large number of options, from traditional vases to small round pots and cubes.
One of the special things about ceramic urns is that due to the firing process, the colors can change slightly from piece to piece. This makes each one special. While ceramics are typically not engraved the way that metal urns are, an urn pendant or urn medallion can be used with many urns to personalize them.
Ceramic Urn Options
Perfect Memorials offers a number of ceramic urn designs that are each created one-by-one through a special firing process. Each artistic design holds a special meaning and allows you to commemorate your loved one in a way that is special. The artwork of each of these urns is fired onto the ceramic urn at a very high temperature. At the end of the firing process, the urn is left with a vibrant, fade-proof photo that is clear and colorful. Due to the way this is completed, the artwork is permanent and will never fade or wear over time.
Caring for Your Urn
To keep your ceramic urn looking its best, wipe it down with a cloth every week or so to remove any dust. You should not need to polish or clean the urn more than this under normal circumstances. Ceramic is a delicate material, so use caution when moving or carrying your urn to prevent accidents. Always place the urn in a location where it cannot be bumped or knocked over, and consider using an urn stand if the base needs more stability.
When filling your ceramic urn, you may want to put the ashes into an inside-the-urn bag for added protection. While this is not absolutely necessary, it will hold the cremains should the urn itself be broken.
Sealing a Ceramic Urn
The Ivory Ceramic Urn series has a top-opening with a secure rubber gasket. Although the seal will be semi-permanent with just the rubber seal alone, some may choose to also add a thin layer of adhesive to the gasket to form a permanent seal. It is advised this be done with extreme caution to avoid adhesive spillage and possible damage to the urn.
