Benefits of an Urn Vault
After a cremation, one of the decisions you will have to make is what to do with the cremated remains. There are lots of choices to consider, including whether or not to purchase an urn vault. Not everyone knows about urn vaults, but they can offer a good number of benefits. If you are not sure whether or not this is something you should opt for, cremation providers can tell you a bit about them.
Urn vaults offer protection for the urn that will hold your loved one’s cremated remains. This is an especially important option if you are planning on having the urn placed in a niche or buried. Depending on what the urn you purchase is made from, exposure to the elements can cause all manner of harm. To prevent deterioration, an urn vault can be the best possible choice. Many cemeteries even require them before they will allow you to bury your loved one’s cremated remains. These vaults also ensure that earth movement does not affect the urn. This can be a concern, especially in cemeteries that are large and have constant burials taking place.
An urn vault is lightweight and easy to carry. Most people think that these kinds of vaults have to be heavy and unwieldy, making it difficult to transport them, but that is not the case. Just as easily as you can move and travel with an urn, you can also do so with an urn vault. The added security does not mean added weight or bulk. Many of the vaults are made of polystyrene, which is extremely lightweight but also very durable. Even if the grave collapses, the urn vault will keep the cremated remains safe.
An urn vault will allow the urn inside it to remain intact for a long time. For people who want to ensure that their loved one’s remains are safe, whether when placed in a columbarium niche or even displayed in the home, this is the right choice. Many people worry about dropping the urn as they transport it or in day to day life in their homes, but a vault will be able to remove some of that worry.
If you are considering having your loved one cremated and having their remains placed in an urn, consider also purchasing an urn vault. It may seem like an added expense, but it can truly make a difference in how long the actual urn lasts. Because vault urns come in many styles and shapes, you can choose an option that is beautiful to display in a niche or even in your home.
