Common Ceramic Urn FAQs

How long do ceramic urns last?

When cared for, ceramic urns can last for generations and serve as a long-lasting reminder of those who have passed. To care for your ceramic urn, gently remove dust with a soft cloth regularly and place it somewhere off the floor and out of harm's way. The same applies to ceramic stones: keeping them in a soft pouch or a safe display area can help ensure they remain in excellent condition for years.

Is ceramic acceptable for urns?

Yes, ceramic is an acceptable material for urns. Any airtight container that keeps the ashes safe and away from the elements is considered an acceptable urn. Though ceramic is a good choice for an urn due to its ability to protect ashes from the elements and its durability, its versatility makes it a popular choice for those looking for a way to honor their loved one in a unique and personal way.

Are ceramic urns durable?

Yes, ceramic urns are durable and will last for generations if cared for properly. Additionally, they can withstand the roughness of life every day. However, it is advised to keep ceramic urns away from places where they will be knocked over or dropped.

Is a ceramic urn TSA-approved?

Yes, ceramic urns are TSA-approved. However, they must meet the size requirements, and the ceramic should be relatively thin to allow for X-ray screening. To ease the process, it is recommended that you bring the proper documentation from the crematorium or funeral home. If you have any doubts or concerns about the material, you can always check with the airline or TSA beforehand. Smaller ceramic stones are easier to carry with you at the airport, just make sure you communicate with TSA before you step into the scanner about what you are carrying.

Can a ceramic urn be personalized?

Yes, ceramic urns are some of the most customizable urns available. Depending on who you work with, you can customize ceramic urns by engraving with names, short messages, dates, colors, sizes, and designs. Many artisans and manufacturers also offer hand-painted details, intricate patterns, or even custom images and portraits. You can choose from various finishes, such as matte, glossy, or textured. Some ceramic urns can be shaped into unique forms or incorporate meaningful symbols.

How do I choose the right ceramic urn?

Choosing the right ceramic urn is a personal question; you should mainly consider what size you want, what design you want, what you feel will best fit your lifestyle, and how you want your loved one to be represented. For example, you might choose the Venezia if you prefer a more modern look and want an urn that holds only a portion of the ashes. When deciding what ceramic urn to use, it’s essential to consider what will work with the amount of space available and the desired amount of ashes stored. If you’d like something small and comforting to hold, a ceramic cremation stone might be the perfect choice alongside, or instead of, a larger urn.
