This article wants to provide useful informations to those who want to keep in their homes, after the cremation, the ashes of their loved ones in cinerary urns in porcelain or bronze, to be eventually combined with a photo frame, a commemorative parchment or a flower vase.

When our clients buy cinerary urns for their loved ones, sometimes, they ask us for some tips on which kind of urns orientate on (porcelain or bronze) and for some ideas on where is more appropriate to place them at home.

Real Votiva, an italian leader company in the sector of production and sell of product and accessories for funerary art made in Italy, always careful to any kind of need, listen to doubts and requests of its clientele and tries to offer the most suitable solutions.

This practice, supported by a check list of questions, it's useful on the one hand to clarify and narrow the field on specific funerary items, on the other hand to choose the most suitable cinerary urn. So it's necessary to ask for:

• the personal style and the type of home decor;
• the type of cinerary urn that can best represent, more than others, one's dear (activities, passions, attitudes of the deceased in life);
• the budget for the purchase ot the urn.

These questions help to focus the most appropriate cinerary urn to embellish the memory of our loved ones and decide whether to personalize it or not, through the possibility of printing a photograph along with other written names, dates or a small dedication (the customization is possible only for porcelain urns).

After choosing the cinerary urn, the identification in the house of the ideal place to welcome it and to enhance it becomes simpler; in some cases, it may be appropriate to set up a memorial area where to put the cinerary urn and eventually a photo frame, a commemorative parchment, a flower vase and so on: a bookshelf, a bookcase, a desk, a bedside table, a wall shelf or an entire wall in the living room, bedroom, etc.

In any case, when choosing where to place the cremation urn you have to ask yourself if that is the place of the house where it fits best. The most common places in which they are placed are:

1. The livingroom. The most widely used, is the most suitable place to accommodate cinerary urns, because it is the place where, generally, we meet and has different shelves: bookcases, tables, wall shelves, fireplaces.
2. The bedroom. Many prefer to keep the funeral urn on a bedside table or a dresser, because they feel that their loved ones watch over them.
3. The kitchen. Some prefer to have the funeral urn here because the kitchen may have been one of the great passions of the deceased. In this case it is advisable to choose a cinerary urn to be placed in a visible place but not easily accessible and with characteristics that stand out.

Finally, wherever you are thinking of placing the funeral urn at home, before buying it, on our site www.realvotivastore.com it is always good to rely on the experience of our consultants who will advise you the most suitable cinerary urns to meet your needs.
