Personalization options vary depending on the material and style of the urn, so be sure to explore the options available.

Filling a cremation urn is straightforward but delicate. You can transfer the ashes yourself using a funnel, or a funeral home can assist you for an easier experience. Most urns have a removable lid or base to make this process easier. It’s important to handle the ashes with care and ensure the urn is placed on a stable surface during the transfer.

Most cremation urns do not need to be permanently sealed, though sealing is an option if you wish to ensure the ashes remain secure. Depending on the design, urns typically close with a threaded lid, snap-on cover, or sliding panel. If you prefer a sealed urn, some can be permanently sealed with adhesive, ensuring the contents are protected.
