A candle urn is a special cremation urn that holds a candle inside to help illuminate the ashes. The candle can be lit in honor of your loved one, and can also serve to keep their memory alive for years to come. Lighting candles in the memory of your loved one has long been a tradition in many religions and spiritual paths, and it is an important part of the grieving process.
Cremation urns can be used in a number of ways, with some people choosing to scatter the cremated remains, while others prefer to store a portion of the cremated remains for future remembrance. The latter may be done in order to create a permanent memorial, such as a columbarium. In addition to being a way of storing ashes, a candle urn can also be used as a decorative remembrance piece for your home, garden, or office.
