Urns for children or babies is very likely the most important urn for ashes to discuss. The subject matter is so delicate and emotions runs so deep that words cannot describe what a mother or father needing to choose an urn for their baby must be thinking or feeling, but choose they must.
As with most everything else on the internet there seem to be a lot of choices, but not a lot of answers to questions people may have about choosing baby urns. The information below should help answer some basic questions about how to choose a baby urn.
As opposed to smaller versions of traditional adult urns, baby urns are designed to be of comfort for those of you who have lost someone so precious and little.More popular designs are baby blocks and baby shoe urns that come in pinks and baby blues for your baby girl or baby boy. As you can imagine, cherubs and angel baby urns are also quite popular, reminding loved ones of their little angel or that an angel is with them in heaven.
Size: Rule of thumb for choosing any size urn. Each pound of weight of the child equals 1 cubic inch of available room in the chamber of the urn. If your baby was 16 pounds, then you need an urn that has a minimum capacity of 16 cubic inches. Larger is ok. If the child is cremated in the casket, you will need to add five cubic inches for the additional ashes. You may always purchase a larger urn if you like. The only rule for choosing baby urns is not to go under the 1 pound for 1 cubic inch rule.
Adding additional items to baby urns: If you buy an urn that is over-sized for what you need for ashes, you most certainly can add keepsakes to the urn. Whether it be a little note you write to the baby, hospital bracelets or anything you choose. It is suggested that you place them in a separate plastic bag before placing in the urn.
The question most asked is: Do I have to purchase the permanent baby urn before the funeral? I am having trouble choosing: The answer is absolutely not. You can have a temporary urn that the funeral home can provide for the service. There is no need for you to rush this decision. When you’ve look around and found the one you like the most, you can purchase it and have the funeral home place the ashes in the new permanent baby urn.
The right urn for your baby is out there. Just take your time and you will find it.
