Urns and cremation keepsakes
You do not have to pick an urn in the arrangement room. A temporary container is enough for the crematory; a permanent urn can wait days or weeks.
As an Amazon Associate, MN Funeral Buddy earns from qualifying purchases made through product links on these pages. That does not change the price you pay. Funeral homes must accept a casket or urn you buy elsewhere under the federal Funeral Rule (16 CFR Part 453). We are not a funeral home and do not arrange funerals.
Basis: FTC Funeral Rule: caskets.
