Marble cremation urns have the strength of stone and are highly regarded for their durability. Because of its beauty, permanence, and elegance, natural marble is a popular choice for many families. In addition, marble urns are produced with high-quality genuine marble from some of the finest quarries throughout the world. Greek and Roman sculptors and architects preferred marble for its beautiful spectrum of dramatic colors and veining patterns which distinguish onyx, alabaster, teakwood and fossil marbles; thus making this natural material very unique.
