Bronze Urns Can Help Meet Your Personal Cremation Urn Needs

Article Category: Death

Author Name: Trisha Stone

Bronze is an excellent choice for families that want a memorial urn that will last a lifetime and look even better with age. A bronze urn is also ideal for families that choose to keep the ashes in the home and want a decorative funerary urn that can double as a piece of art or sculpture.

Many of the bronze urn styles are expertly crafted to conceal the ashes in and blend in to the decor. The cremated ashes are stored in a separate compartment, usually located at the base of the statue or sculpture and secured with a bolted metal plate. This does not detract from the beauty of the art work, as it is located underneath the base and unseen.

With today's metal prices, bronze urns do command a higher price, but are a solid investment in strength, beauty and permanence.

Bronze cremation urns are heavier than a traditional urn, weighing 30-40 pounds before it's filled with ashes, which can add another 7-10 pounds. Keep this in mind when selecting a place in the home to display the urn. If the urn is being placed in a niche at the cemetery, be sure and get the exact interior measurements of the columbarium niche to insure a perfect fit.

Many of the bronze urns on the market are manufactured in foundries here in the USA. For sculpture and art urns, metal craftsmen often use the ancient process of lost wax casting. This is a multi-stage process that allows the sculptor to create an image in wax and then pour the molten bronze into the mold.

The lost wax process allows for urns to be created in the shape of a lighthouse, sea shell, military and firefighter themes for adult urns as well as keepsake urns. Many of the American foundries will also work the family to create a custom urn.

If the urn is on display in the home, some families worry what will happen if the urn gets knocked over by their cats, or kids. Bronze urns or even a brass metal urn is a good choice for families that want a secure cremation container to keep in the home.

Brass urns are at the more economical end of the spectrum and depending on the style, are beautiful enough to display in the home or serve as a burial urn. Lighter weight, averaging 4-7 pounds the vase urns usually have a threaded lid closure and box or cube style has a metal plate. Metal urns come in a variety of colors and many can be engraved with name and dates.
