We often get questions about the difference between “keepsake” or “token” urns, and our full-sized models. 

What are keepsake urns?

• Keepsake urns are smaller sized urns, intended for a fraction of the cremation ashes. 

Why would you want a keepsake urn, if it does not hold all of the remains?

• Many families and loved ones prefer keepsake urns to share the ashes. It is common for multiple family members to keep a portion of the ashes with them to honor their loved one. 

Some families choose to scatter the ashes as well. If you are interested in scattering the ashes in multiple locations, keepsake urns can also be useful for this purpose. 

On urnsforashes.com, keepsakes come in both traditional shaped options, as well as heart-shaped vessels. Additionally, we also offer cremation jewelry, where the ashes can be held in a necklace pendant for keeping them close.
