Ashes to urns. How to fill and close an Urn with ashes?

The way of pouring the ashes ashes to urns is very easy, you need to follow some rules to avoid making a mistake.

How do we receive the ashes from the crematorium?

Crematorium gives the family the ashes of the deceased in a plastic bag, packed in a temporary urn. It is usually made of plastic or cardboard. Crematoria also provide a service for pouring ashes to urns at the request of the family. If you are uncomfortable handling the remains of the deceased, you can provide us with a shipping address to the designated crematorium. You will then be able to collect the ashes already transferred to the correct urn.

When you do not want to unseal the ashes received from the crematorium, we offer several urns that will accommodate some “temporary urns”. This way you can put in all the contents received from the crematorium without having to open it.

Pouring ashes to urns. Top opening urns.

Most urns for adults are designed to accommodate a plastic bag for ashes. After opening the urn, gently insert the plastic bag into the urn and very slowly pour the contents inside. The bag should be firmly closed with a plastic tie or tightly tied with string. Then gently push the contents into the urn and screw it shut.

The urn is now ready to be placed in its proper place.

Pouring ashes to urns. Bottom opening urns.

For urns that open from the bottom, this is a little more complicated. It is important to turn the urn over and lay it on something soft before pouring ashes to urns, to avoid scratching the top.

Before removing the bottom, mark the method of screwing it. It is very important to screw it back on in exactly the same way. The screw holes in the urn must match the holes on the removed cover.

Po odkręceniu urny postepujemy podobnie jak w przypadku top opening urns. Wkładamy plastikową torbę do środka i przesypujemy prochy. Torbę zamykamy plastikowa opaska zaciskową lub mocno wiążemy sznurkiem.

After unscrewing the urn, proceed in a similar way to the top opening urns. Place a plastic bag inside and pour in the ashes. Close the bag with a plastic tie or tie it tightly with string.

Before closing, check that the stickers are in the same place as they were before you unscrewed the lid. Be careful not to let the plastic bag with ashes come between the urn and the lid.

It is now safe to turn the urn over. If you have any problems, please use our instructional video or contact us.

Sealing the cremation urn.

When you have decided to buy an urn, with a small piece for transferring ashes to urns, you should seal the connecting parts with glue or silicone for safety. Urns like keepsake should also be secured, as they are small in size and it may be inconvenient to put ashes in it in a plastic bag..

You can buy such silicone at any home improvement or hardware shop. The silicone should be carefully spread over the joint between the urn and the lid.

Example of holes for pouring ashes into urns, without using a plastic bag.

To pour the ashes into this type of urn, we recommend using something like a funnel or cone. The funnel may be made of hard paper, flexible plastic or some other similar material. This will prevent accidental spillage of the ashes outside the urn.
