If you decide that cremation services in Wayne, PA are the right option for your loved one’s final services, you have a lot of other decisions to make. First, you will want to take care of their needs. The cremation package options are going to give that special person everything they need. The packages, even the most basic, are all-inclusive. They will give your loved one the transportation they need, the cremation process, and a simple container for their remains. However, you can add things to that package, if you choose to do so. The most common thing to add is an urn for your loved one’s remains to replace the simple container the provider will give you with any package. You can also customize that urn in a variety of ways. Here are a few ways to make the urn special for your loved one. 


The Urn’s Style 


There are a variety of different urn styles and simply choosing a unique style can help you to customize the urn for your loved one. There’s a normal urn shape, but there are also unusual shapes that can help you to get a style you appreciate for your loved one. You may want something that stands out and looks more like a style your loved one would appreciate. 


Color Can Show Personality 


Depending on material, there are often different color options to consider as well. You can get a color that shows your loved one’s personality. IF they liked red, getting a red tone in the marble can be a nice way to go. If they were always calm and collected, getting a blue urn might remind you of their serene personality. The urn color can help you to customize the container into something your family likes and your loved one would have appreciated. 


Engraving Makes It Unique 


Many urn materials can be engraved and those that can’t, could have a plaque attached to it with an engraving on it. You can engrave whatever you want and whatever you choose will make the urn completely unique and special. You can place your loved one’s name, a phrase they said, a Bible verse, or anything else you want. 


Decorate Nearby 


You don’t have to necessarily do anything to the urn itself to make it unique. First of all, even if you get the same urn other people have used, it will be completely different because it will hold your unique loved one. That makes it special right off the bat. But you can also make the urn unique by decorating in a unique way around it. Place your loved one’s picture nearby and some of the things they held near and dear. Those items can make the urn really look like something your loved one would appreciate and like are their final resting container. 


If you are having cremation services in Wayne, PA, you can use the simple container the provider will give you along with any cremation package. But if you want something more unique, you might want an urn that is completely special.
