Urns for Dad

Make your father's final resting place a special one with one of the attractive and affordable urns for Dad from Perfect Memorials. We offer a great selection of cremation urns to fit your preferences and your budget. This category highlights some of our most popular urns for fathers, but don't miss our beautiful cremation urns in other categories as well.

Choosing Dad's Urn

A good way to narrow down your choices when deciding between urns for Dad is to think about those activities or interests that remind you of him. Our Heavenly Creations urns include sculptures of fishermen, golfing equipment, motorcycles, and more. If Dad was regularly involved with his church, you might consider one of our religious urns, which include images of angels, crosses, and praying hands. We also offer a wide selection of sports-themed urns, book and library urns, and police and military urns.

If you'll be sharing your father's ashes among other family members, consider purchasing keepsake urns for Dad. Keepsake and sharing urns are smaller than full-size urns and only hold a portion of cremains. Depending on the size you choose, these urns hold between 1 cubic inch to about 50 cubic inches of ashes, so it's important to know the amount of cremains you plan to keep before choosing your urn. Each cubic inch is equal to about one pound of healthy weight, or about 1 tablespoon of cremains.

This sizing information is important for full-size urns for Dad's ashes as well. While the "cubic inches equals pounds" formula is still valid, it's a good idea to choose an urn for Dad that's a little larger than what you think you need.

Personalizing an Urn for a Father

Most urns for Dad can be personalized with custom engraving. It's always a good idea to include information about the deceased on the urn — especially if the urn will be displayed during a memorial service, buried, or placed in a columbarium. This allows your father's ashes to be easily identified if the urn is out of your possession or accidentally misplaced. Typically, you can include at least 3 lines of text on the urn, including the deceased's name and dates, and often a brief message. If the urn for your dad's ashes cannot be engraved, which is often the case for those made of glass or other fragile materials, you can order an engraved urn medallion or urn pendant to hang on the urn.
