Question: Can I keep an urn with ashes in my home?

Answer: Yes, of course! It's perfectly legal to keep the ashes at home with you. There are several ways to do this. Let's take a look.

Use the "temporary" urn

When you get the remains back from the crematorium, they'll be in a cardboard or plastic box that measures approximately 8.5" x 6.5" x 4.5". This is called a temporary urn. You can simply keep the temporary urn filled with ashes in your home. Just because it's called a "temporary" urn doesn't mean it won't serve you well. It's simple, but it holds the remains. What more do you need! Decorate the container and put it in a special place, or tuck it away up in a closet. It's up to you.

Get a beautiful cremation urn for display

This is what we do for you here at Urns Northwest. So of course we recommend this option!

Divide the remains

Many families choose to divide the ashes. You can give some to each family member who wants some. Consider dividing the remains equally among siblings, or perhaps you can retain the larger portion and give each person a small amount to go into some cremation jewelry keepsakes. You can also scatter a portion (large or small, or half and half) while keeping the rest of the ashes at home for display or as a keepsake token.

Remember, the choice is up to you!

Keep, then scatter

Perhaps you plan on scattering the ashes as some special location. But you need to save up for the trip, or maybe you just aren't ready to let go right now. That's ok. Keep the remains for now, then scatter at a later date. We have urns designed to help you scatter, and they also look great as display memorials until the time is right.

Keep, then bury

The same thing goes for burial. You can keep the remains at home for a season, then bury it later. If your cemetery requires the urn to be buried inside of a burial vault, learn more about those here.

What age do you stop making friends?

It turns out there's an age for when serious new-friend-making stops, and that age is 25. According to a study, the average person's peak mobile phone usage happens at 25, and then it goes downhill from there.

elle.com.au - The Age People Stop Making New Friends Is 25 | ELLE Australia

We all know that it’s much easier making friends as a kindergartener than an adult—or, at least, it’s easier to say yes to everything and make all the friends when you’re younger and don’t realise how important your time is, compared to being a grown-up who works full time, perhaps a lot of overtime, and realises you’d rather spend your precious free hours with a few friends whose company you know you love. It turns out there’s an age for when serious new-friend-making stops, and that age is 25 . According to a study, the average person’s peak mobile phone usage happens at 25, and then it goes downhill from there. The results came from a study of the cell phone usage of 3.5 million people in the U.K., and it found that male 25-year-olds have 19 people they stay in touch with regularly, while women have up to 16 people.

Yep—men apparently have more friends on the go than women. Who are these men, and why are they on their phones so much?

Another way to read this information is that instead of not making new friends after 25, you start losing friends after 25, or at least lose touch with more people around that age. We stop being “socially promiscuous,” as Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford, said, because we want to invest our time in the people who are important to us. Or maybe as we get older we also don’t care about seeming popular—it’s like your Facebook friend list gets smaller the more mature you are.
