Unique and Personal: Choosing the Right Urn at John Hossack Funeral Services

Admin John Hossack

When choosing an urn for a loved one’s ashes, it’s important to select an Urn that reflects their personality, values, and preferences. At John Hossack Funeral Services, we offer a wide variety of urns, ensuring that every family can find the perfect tribute for their loved one. From traditional designs to more contemporary, personalised options, we’re here to help guide you through the process.

1. Classic Urns

Classic urns are designed with traditional aesthetics in mind, often made from materials like metal, marble, or ceramic. These urns are timeless, offering a dignified resting place for a loved one’s ashes. Many families choose a classic urn to keep at home or to be placed in a columbarium or family plot.

2. Eco-Friendly Urns

For those who want a more environmentally conscious option, biodegradable urns are an excellent choice. Made from natural materials such as sand, wood, or plant-based fibres, eco-friendly urns are designed to break down over time, allowing for a more natural return to the earth. These urns are perfect for families who wish to scatter ashes in a meaningful location or bury the urn in a sustainable manner.

3. Artistic and Personalised Urns

Many families today seek a more personalised approach to memorialising their loved one, and artistic urns offer a unique way to celebrate individuality. These urns can be custom-designed with specific colours, engravings, or even images that reflect the personality of the deceased. Some urns are handcrafted by artists, making each piece one-of-a-kind.

4. Companion Urns

For couples who wish to remain together even after death, companion urns are designed to hold the ashes of two people. These urns are often larger in size and can be personalised with engravings that reflect the relationship between the two individuals.

At John Hossack Funeral Services, we take great care in offering a wide selection of urns to meet the diverse needs of our families. Our compassionate team is here to help you choose the perfect urn to honour your loved one in a way that feels personal and meaningful.
