When ordering an ashes casket (also known as an urn), you’ll want to consider a variety of factors to ensure it meets your needs and properly honors your loved one.

Here are the typical questions you should ask:

1. Material

Common Materials: Wood, metal, ceramic, glass, biodegradable materials.

Durability: Ask about the longevity of the material, especially if it will be displayed or buried.

2. Size and Capacity

Volume: Ensure the casket can hold the ashes, especially if combining remains or including mementos.

Dimensions: Confirm the size, especially if it needs to fit into a niche or specific space.

3. Design and Style

Shape: Traditional, modern, artistic, or custom shapes.

Color and Finish: Explore the available colors and finishes to match personal preferences.

Decorative Elements: Inquire about engraving, etching, or other decorative features.

4. Personalization

Inscriptions: Consider adding names, dates, or a personal message.

Imagery: Ask if you can include symbols, photos, or artwork.

Custom Designs: Explore options for fully custom designs or unique features.

5. Purpose and Placement

Intended Use: Will it be kept at home, buried, or placed in a columbarium?

Outdoor vs. Indoor: If it will be outdoors, ask about weather resistance.

6. Biodegradable Options

Eco-friendly Materials: If considering burial or water release, ask about biodegradable urns.

Environmental Impact: Inquire about the environmental impact of different materials.

7. Price and Payment

Cost Breakdown: Request an itemized quote including the casket, personalization, and any additional fees.

Payment Options: Check if financing or payment plans are available.

8. Availability and Timeline

Production Time: How long will it take to create and deliver the ashes casket?

Delivery: Confirm the delivery method and timeframe.

9. Legal and Regulatory Considerations

Cemetery or Niche Requirements: If the ashes casket will be placed in a specific location, ensure it meets those requirements.

Transportation Rules: Ask about regulations if you plan to transport the casket, especially internationally.

10. Viewing a Sample

Physical or Virtual Preview: See if you can view a sample or mock-up before finalizing the order.
