Ceramic Cremation Urns: The Time to Buy is Now

August 22, 2012 urngarden.com

The time to buy a ceramic cremation urn is when you see one that catches your eye. Each urn is a one of kind piece and often families that are shopping for an urn online, see a ceramic or pottery style cremation urn and bookmark it, only to come back at their time of need and the item has sold. We can always create an urn similar to the one they saw or a custom work of art, but the family needs to be prepared to wait two to four weeks.

This happened to a West Coast widow who wanted a Raku urn for her terminally ill husband. She saw the urn, liked it, but when she came back to buy a couple of weeks later, it was sold.

She ordered two gingko leaf urns for her husband who spent his final days in a room with a view of a gingko tree outside the window. The family held a memorial service at the golf course and filled one of the urns with his favorite cigars, golf balls and tees and other remembrances. The other urn was used to bury his ashes.

Forged from natural materials and fire, ceramic is a time-honored material that can be used to craft an array of fine art items. This includes ceramic cremation urns. If you are looking for a way to hold your loved one’s remains in a tasteful work of art, you may want to choose a ceramic cremation urn as your solution.

Archeologists discovered a Roman cremation cemetery that contained a ceramic urn, pottery shards, and bronze artifacts at a construction site in the UK at Doncaster. Visitors will be able to tour the excavation site to see the artifacts and talk to archeologists.

Another Roman burial site was discovered in the UK at Wasson, site of new home construction. Perhaps a Roman warrior was buried there? In addition to the five cremations and ceramic urn discoveries included six bronze axes.

Cremation was widely practiced by the Romans, with the ashes being placed in ceramic urns and then buried in the ground or placed in underground ossuary or burial chamber.

Some of the most amazing works of art from the Roman period that remain are ceramic urns and funerary vessels.
