As Santee, SC cremation services gain in popularity, many of our clients are taking advantage of the greater freedom to create personalized tributes. Cremation ashes are sterile and safe, so they can be used in virtually any way that speaks to your loved one’s life. At Avinger Funeral Home, we work with our clients to accommodate their wishes and arrange for unique plans to honor the departed with creative celebrations.

Personalized Urns

When you receive the ashes, they’ll come in a standard transport urn, but that’s only the first step. We offer a selection of hundreds of artisan urns in classic and modern designs, sturdy enough to be safe on your mantle and with safety features to prevent spills. These urns can also be inscribed with personalized quotes or tributes so you have a reminder of the departed’s love in your house at all times.

Dividing the Ashes

Many of our clients with larger families want to split the ashes among several family members. We make this possible with smaller travel urns that let each member take a portion of the ashes home with them for a place on their mantle. For clients who wish to keep a part of their loved one with them always, we offer small travel vials to keep a inch of the ashes on hand in a pocket or around the neck.

Scattering

Our transport urns double as scattering urns, and allow for a controlled distribution of the ashes in a chosen location. Distributing ashes is legal in virtually any public location, so many of our clients choose to lay their loved one to rest in a meaningful location such as a beloved body of water or a park. This often doubles as a private memorial service held after the cremation among those closest to the deceased.

Transforming the Ashes

For clients who want to pay tribute to their loved one in a way that relates to what they loved in life, ashes can be mixed in with ink or paints to create art or write music. Third-party companies can also incorporate the ashes into fireworks for a dazzling display of light. For a more permanent tribute, companies can compress a portion of ashes into a diamond that can be worn as a durable and long-lasting memento.

Green Solutions

For clients who want to leave a minimal carbon footprint when they memorialize their loved one, we offer biodegradable urns that can be planted in the ground, eventually transforming into a tree that will stand for decades. For those who prefer water burial, specialized ball-like vessels will encourage coral to grow around them and host life in the ocean’s ecosystem.
