Are you looking for an urn that is suitable enough for the ashes of your loved one at a funeral home in Bronx, NY? Urns can cost as much as $7,000 to as little as $50. The price can be determined by the size, material, design, durability, and other qualities of the urn. So, it’s up to you how much you want to spend. Here are some things you need to know about the price of urns.
Urns Come In A Variety Of Sizes And Materials
Both the size of the urn and the material it is made from will determine the price. Materials used to make urns include wood, metal, ceramic, marble and stone and even biodegradable materials. If you look at size alone, there are options that are large enough to hold 400 cubic inches of ashes to smaller ones that only hold 35 cubic inches. When looking at the material, consider whether you want to put the urn on display and how long you want to keep the remains of your loved one.
How Much Urns Made From Various Materials Cost
Urns made of wood cost between $50 and $400 depending on the type of wood used and the design of the urn. They may have the shape of a vase or maybe a box. Some have intricate designs added to them and may even be inlaid with precious gemstones or even metal. Marble and stone urns cost between $50 and $500. Urns made of metals such as aluminum, steel, brass, or other metal alloys are unlikely to cost more than $300.
Country Of Origin affects price and quality
Urns made in the USA are of higher quality and more durable than foreign-made alternatives. Foreign-made urns are inexpensive but they are generally of low quality and lack the craftsmanship you will find in American products.
You Can Find An Urn With Any Theme You Like
You can also get urns that depict the kind of lifestyle your loved one enjoyed. For instance, if your loved one played golf, the urn can depict the sport in various ways. Their price can be determined by how elaborate the designs are. Themed urns can cost as much as $500.However, if you are looking for an urn with a theme that features the American flag, Air force, Coastguard, or other patriotic symbols, you may have to pay up to $1,000 or more.
Biodegradable And Green Urns
If you plan to bury the ashes, then you may not need durable urns made from metal or stone, or other hard materials. Instead, go for biodegradable urns made from clay, cornstarch, raw wood, salt, and paper. When buried, urns made from these materials slowly decompose with the remains in them or dissolve in water. Biodegradable urns just look as good as urns made from hard materials only that they do not harm the environment. They cost from $65 to $350.
