Tailored Memorial Options

  • Adult engravable urns — large capacity, ready for full inscription.
  • Companion engravable urns — dual capacity with space to engrave both names or shared messages.

Whatever your plan—display, columbarium placement, scattering, or burial—we offer engravable designs built to fit different preferences.

Materials & Finishes for Engraving

Choosing the right material ensures your personalization is clear, lasting, and respectful. Our engraveable cremation urns use materials that respond well to inscription techniques:

  • Metal urns (brass, stainless steel, aluminum) with smooth surfaces ideal for laser or mechanical engraving.
  • Wood urns (walnut, cherry, maple) with panels or plaques designated for engraving.
  • Marble urns, stone urns, or granite urns with polished areas for etched engraving.
  • Composite urns and ceramic urns that support ceramic or fired-in engraving.

We inspect each urn to ensure the engraved surface is even, stable, and balanced with the design.

Design Styles & Visual Harmony

Our personalized urns for ashes embrace a wide range of styles, with space for text that complements the silhouette:

  • Classic designs with nameplates, plaque inserts, and clean borders.
  • Modern urns with subtle inscription panels and minimalist lines.
  • Nature-themed urns where engraving integrates with motifs like trees, leaves, or waves.
  • Artistic urns that pair engraving with inlay, enamel, or relief detailing.
  • Symbolic motifs—hearts, doves, butterflies, or religious icons—combined with engraved text.

Why Personalization Matters

Engraving turns a vessel into a story. Our custom engraved cremation urns allow names, life dates, quotes, or artwork—creating a memorial that feels uniquely meaningful. Each engraved urn becomes a visual tribute, not just a container.

Every piece is evaluated for engraving compatibility, material durability, and presentation. As you browse, know we are here to guide your choice so the urn you personalize is dignified, lasting, and true to the memory you hold.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I determine what urn size I need?

A simple rule is to allow one cubic inch of space for every pound of body weight before cremation. For example, a person who weighed 180 pounds would need an urn that holds at least 180 cubic inches. Standard adult urns typically hold around 200 cubic inches. If ashes will be divided among family members, smaller keepsake urns are also available.

What materials and styles are available in engravable urns?

Engravable urns come in a variety of materials including metal, wood, marble, ceramic, glass, resin and more. Some of these materials are better suited for engraving directly on the surface (e.g., metal, stone) while others may use an attached nameplate or plaque for personalization. Choose a material that fits the final resting place or intended display setting.

What are the personalization and engraving options?

You can typically engrave the loved one’s name, birth and death dates, and a short message or tribute. Some urns allow custom artwork, emblems (military, fire/EMS), or photo panels. Font choices and layout matter for legibility and design—for instance, a clean font for clarity, or a script font for a more elegant look.

Does personalization or engraving delay delivery?

Yes, adding engraving or custom personalization may add extra production time compared to a standard non-custom urn. If you have a specific date or ceremony for which the urn is needed, it’s a good idea to order early and ask about the estimated processing time for engraving.

Can I purchase an urn online or do I need to buy it from the funeral home?

You can purchase an urn from any retailer, including Funeral.com. Funeral homes and crematories must accept any urn you provide, even if it wasn’t purchased from them. Buying online allows you to explore more styles, materials, and price options that fit your preferences.

What type of urn should I choose for home display, burial, or scattering?
  • Home Display: Choose an urn that complements your décor and can be safely displayed.
  • Burial: Some cemeteries require an urn vault or specific materials, so always confirm their policies.
  • Columbarium Placement: Make sure the urn fits within niche size limits.
  • Scattering: Opt for a lightweight or biodegradable urn designed for easy scattering on land or water.

How do I care for an engravable urn and what should I know about shipping?

For care: follow guidance based on the material. For example, wood urns should be kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity, metal urns should be dusted regularly, marble urns protected from chips or cracks, etc. If you’ve attached an engraved plate, ensure it is secured and the surface around it is kept clean.

For shipping: Since personalization adds production time, verify the estimated ship date when ordering. Check that the vendor provides tracking, confirm delivery address (you may choose the funeral home as the delivery location), and make sure the urn will arrive ahead of any planned service or transfer.
