The loss of a child or infant that has brought so much hope and joy is a life shattering experience. Little can prepare you for the grief and emotional trauma suffered in such circumstances.

We hope that as you visit our infant urns catalog that you will find the comfort and stability in what is a turbulent and emotional time of mourning. In seeking peace and closure, searching for an infant urn will offer a pathway of remembrance in later years. Our catalog offers designs for infant urns that are distinctive, both for boys and girls, which include angular box designs that are constructed of wood, sheet bronze, bronze, and natural stone as well as traditional 'urn-style' infant urns in metal and ceramic materials. The death of a precious child is a very difficult experience to overcome and the bereaved often feel alone and confused. In viewing the infant urns we hope that you will find some stability and comfort during this difficult time. How Do I Know What Size Infant Urn I Need? This is the question most asked by those in the position of having to purchase an infant urn. As a general rule of thumb, we suggest figuring that one (1) pound of body weight translates to one (1) cubic inch of displacement. For example, if the child was 23 pounds then an infant urn with at least 23 cubic inches of displacement will be suitable. This rule can be applied to children up to 14 years of age. Children older than 14 years can use an adult urn. Types of Infant UrnsWood Infant Urns - These infant urns offer themes such as Building Blocks in cultured materials with different finishes to choose from.
