What to Consider When Picking a Hardwood Urn
The process of choosing an urn is simple. Here are a few things to consider:
Size
The first thing you need to do is decide how large the container should be. The size of the urn can vary, depending on what you where your loved one's ashes to be kept. You could have an urn that's small enough to fit in your pocket or purse, or large enough to stand on its own as a display piece. There's no wrong answer here as long as it fits into your budget.
Material
Once you've determined the size, you'll need to consider what type of wood will be used for your new urn. There are many different woods that can be used to make an urn, but hardwood is the most popular choice. This type of wood is dense and sturdy and has a rich tone that adds to the elegance of your final product. Be sure your urn is made from solid wood and not veneer. Hardwood urns made from solid wood are just as durable as caskets.
There are many different types of hardwoods that can be used to build an urn, including oak, cherry, walnut, and maple among others. Some people prefer oak because it's classic and timeless, while others choose walnut because it feels warm when the deep dark tones are touched by the sun's rays. Maple is another popular choice because it looks elegant but isn't too expensive when compared to other woods like walnut or cherry (which sometimes tend to be more expensive.
However, Flint’s Woodshop believes all woods are equal and have their own individual beauty. So, we don’t charge any extra for our walnut or cherry urns.
