You have options when it comes to placing cremated remains in an urn. You can do it yourself by transferring the ashes from the temporary container provided by the crematorium into your chosen urn. It's a personal and often meaningful process for many families. Alternatively, many funeral directors offer a service where they can decant your loved one's ashes into your chosen urn as part of their service. This can provide reassurance and convenience during what can be a challenging time. If you prefer professional assistance with transferring the ashes into the urn, it's worth inquiring with your funeral director about this option.
