Whether one chooses to have their remains held in a special vessel or in a casket to be buried, entombed or dispersed, the manner in which it is done can be personalized in many ways. Metal cremation urns are a beautifully tasteful way in which to spend eternity.

For many people, choosing an eternal resting vessel for themselves or a loved one, is a decision based largely on what best fits the personality of the intended inhabitant.

In addition to properly representing the individual inside, interment vessels need to be fitting to the circumstances in which it is stored. If the intention is to have it openly displayed, it should be pleasing to the eye and complementary to the surrounding decor. Containers being buried are best constructed from highly durable materials.

Appearance is just a portion of what needs to be considered when choosing a suitable container.

Lockets or hollow pendants on chains are often given to those who were special to the deceased as a way of always being close, even after death.
