Cremation Stones: 5 Tips for Finding the Best

When considering what type of cremation stone would be best for you and your family it can be helpful to look at all of the different types of cremation stones available to you and make an informed decision based on what material you want, your budget, the quantity of stones, color/design, and the intended purpose for your cremation stones. These factors will majorly impact what type of cremation stone is best for you, so it’s essential to think carefully before committing.

Material

The material of your cremation stone is a key factor to consider before making your final decision. When it comes to material, you should consider where you want to store your stones. For example, if you plan to place your stone in a garden, then it could be wise to choose a colorful stone that will stand out and won’t get lost, whereas if you plan to display your cremation stone indoors, you might select a glass-infused stone with a design that you find favorable. At the Living Urn, all our stones are made to be durable and able to withstand the elements, making them able to be kept anywhere, regardless of material.

Color Symbolisms

The colors of cremation stones are significant in determining their meanings and symbolism. With Living Urn Cuddle Stones, 12 different beautiful colors are available, each with its symbolism and meaning attached. Colors can symbolize who your loved one was, the things they enjoyed, and the values they held. When choosing your cremation stone, it’s essential to consider what colors you wish to use to represent your passed loved one.

Budget and Quantity

When looking for the right cremation stones for your family, one of the main factors is how many stones you want, and then factor in your budget accordingly. For example, if you only wish to have five cremation stones, you might consider Living Glass Touchstones, which includes five stones for $195. If you’re looking for a more precise quantity, consider Living Urn Cuddle Stones. Unlike infused cremation stones, these are small containers that hold the cremated remains, allowing for a customizable number of stones, with each one starting at only $45.

Designs and Personalization

After determining your quantity and budget, choose the colors and designs you like. From cuddle stones to glass touchstones to star-shaped stones, there are many design options to choose from. When choosing your design and colors, consider whether you will amend your budget to fit particular personalization preferences. For example, if you need seven stones, like the Living Glass Touchstones, you can choose whether or not to adjust your budget and quantity or pick a different cremation stone, such as the Living Urn Cuddle Stones. And adjusting things doesn’t necessarily mean completely changing designs, making amendments, and being flexible could mean ordering two sets of Living Glass Touchstones and having three stones extra, which you could keep for yourself or pass on to other family members to cherish.

Be Flexible

When selecting cremation stones, knowing which preferences are non-negotiable and where you're open to flexibility is important. For example, if you're set on having blue stones but are willing to consider different materials, you'll have more options to choose from. Identifying what matters most, whether it’s color, material, or quantity, will help you guide your decision. Being open to compromise doesn’t mean you have to settle; it simply means you’re willing to explore similar alternatives that might pleasantly surprise you. In most cases, staying open-minded can lead you to discover a stone that fits beautifully, even if it differs from your original rubric.
