The practice of cremation dates back to ancient cultures, although modern cremation has little in common with the ancient practice. Today, it is the preferred means of final disposition in Japan, Western Europe and increasingly for many people in the United States and Canada. To some, cremation is a religious mandate, while others consider it a personal choice alternative to in-ground burial or entombment.

For those choosing cremation, an urn is typically selected for the permanent placement of cremated remains. Urns are available in many different styles, shapes and colors to offer the individual an effective approach to personalization.
