 I was searching online for a unique type of cremation urn for ashes to write about. There are many more than I thought there would be. I assumed I would find mostly wooden boxes or brass vase type urns. What I ran across were some pretty weird, maybe even tacky urns for cremation, but lamp urns for ashes caught my eye for two reasons. They are functional, which is unique for urns and attractive to look at.


While I didn't find a huge selection of lamp urns for ashes, I did find some nice stained glass, Tiffany style and some mission style wood urn lamps. The Tiffany style lamps are may favorite. They are functional and attractive. Lamp urns for ashes normally don't hold all of the ashes for a full grown adult, but are perfect for a smaller person or to be used as a memorial keepsake that holds a portion of the ashes.

When you think about it, it really is a clever idea. Urns are normally kept on a shelf that do nothing and look kind of boring. They tend to point out to everyone in the room; “Hey, isn't that Uncle Henry's Urn on the Bureau?” Not that that is a terrible thing, but it would be nice for the family holding the ashes to have a nice place to hold them without the obvious visual for everyone who enters your home to see. 

Most of the lamp urns I found online open at the bottom and the ashes are placed through the bottom and then permanently sealed with screws or an adhesive. If you find yourself interested in this kind of urn but don’t want to put the ashes in yourself (it may be a little unnerving for some), you can always have the funeral director do it for you. You will probably have to purchase the urn online and have it sent directly to the funeral home or to your home and bring it to them.

Cremation is what almost 40% of Americans are choosing now and leave it to good old American ingenuity (and the constant search for new ways to make money) to come up with this really nice idea of a lamp urn for ashes.
