Many people who wish to be cremated after their death would also like a loved one to keep their ashes at home. And for families, keeping ashes in their home can be a way to maintain the feeling of a close connection to the person who died.<\/p>\n\n

Deciding where to place cremated remains can be complicated. You may be happy to keep the ashes in the house for the rest of your life, or you may only need to store them for a short time before scattering them.<\/p>\n\n

Where to place cremation ashes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Start by choosing your urn carefully. It doesn’t have to be fancy, or even conventional, but it is important to make sure it is large enough to contain the ashes. It also needs to be sealed securely. Beyond that, it’s entirely up to you.<\/p>\n\n

If you don’t plan to keep the ashes in the house forever, the urn<\/a> given to you by the crematory after cremation<\/a> may be all you need. Otherwise, there are a wide variety of urns, boxes and other keepsakes available, so it’s just a matter of thinking about what will work best for you.<\/p>\n\n

However, it is worth considering who else might try to touch them. Maybe there are children in your home. Maybe your cat likes to push things off flat surfaces. Or perhaps your family tends to put their coats on a particular piece of furniture, making bumping likely. Try to keep ashes out of reach.<\/p>\n
