Creating a Custom Companion Urn

Sharing an urn? Is that even a thing? As surprising as it may sound, it is a thing! And you are about to learn about it and maybe even get some inspiration.

What is a Companion Urn?

Companion Urns are typically larger and include a single compartment for the ashes of two people to be placed to rest together. They are seen as a resting place for two people that want to continue their journey together.

There are also double cremation urns which include 2 compartments where two people’s ashes can be side by side, rather than in the same single compartment.

Both types of companion urns can be created as completely custom vessels, based on what your loved one’s interests are or what they want their final resting place to look like. And you know what else? Companion urns aren’t just for couples. A custom companion vessel could be created for siblings, partners, or anyone wishing to be together after their life ends.
