By Amy Gray


Around the world, the death of a loved one brings sadness the family involved while allowing all members to pay their last respects to the departed. However, the loss of an infant is in most cases traumatizing when you consider that the dreams and potential of the young one have been cut short. The use of infant urns provides an option to send off the baby in a way that retains their memory for a longer period.

Unfortunate events such as a miscarriage or a still birth happens can leave a couple distraught and emotionally broken. The pot provides a secure holding for the ashes of a lost baby after cremation has been done. However, no matter how unique the jar looks, it cannot replace the sadness one feels when a child's life ends immaturely.

The best place to start your search for children's urns is at your local memorial home. Make arrangements to visit the premises and check out the items they have on sale. If you are not satisfied with the products on sale, you can search for the product online. Luckily, many memorial homes have a website where mourners can browse through the categories as they look for the ideal baby urn.

There are a few factors to bear in mind when designing this item. First is the size of the child and how much they weighed. The dimensions of the product are mostly regarding cubic inches. The rule of thumb is the more the weight of the lost child, the larger the urn will be. However, most new born and infants of less than five months will require not more than three cubic inches.

There is the option of having the final item larger than the actual dimensions dictate. This feature is appropriate where the couple feels the need to include valuables such as a bracelet or the favorite toy of the child.

It is also possible to have a custom product in case you did not find one that you like on the website. All you need to do is call the hot line number and give the specifications on how you want the urn made. Clients have a broad range of Colors, paintings and shapes to choose from. The finish of the item could either be metallic, wooden or spot a stone exterior.

An engraving of text is another custom feature available to clients. Personal details such as the names and age of the baby can be written on the urn. The outer surface of the item can be finished in white with the paintings on the product finished in a shade of gold. To further reinforce the memory of the child, a photo can be incorporated into the design.

As part of their package, most memorial homes do offer funeral arrangement services. They go a long way in making the event special by handling all the events from cremation to urn design. All this is done to ensure the family mourns the lost one by having a decent send off without having to worry about who will handle the entire exercise.
