for those that have cremated

silverlining8d · January 2013

For those that have cremated how do you display the urn? Right now we have his in his crib in the nursery with all of the other stuff we can't handle seeing right now but that's obviously not a permanent spot for it. I keep thinking and I have no idea where to put it but I know I want to be able to see it whenever I get the urge.

I keep Grace's urn on a shelf in my living room next to the memento box from the hospital.

My sons is on our mantel next to his picture. We have yet to find an urn that we love so it's still in the generic one that the hospital/funeral home gave us.

I am so sorry for your loss!

Right now her ashes are on my dresser along with a memory box the hospital put together. I placed her in our room b/c I figured if we had been able to bring her home that would have been her place then too.

We may spread her ashes eventually but I am not emotionally ready for that yet, maybe one day.

Right now she's in the livingroom on our main shelf in a nice wooden box my mom made years ago and a picture frame on top.

I was looking at urns, but my husband really doesn't want to keep her ashes. He wants us to bury or spread them. My Gran offered that we could bury her with my grandfather in his plot, so we're looking into that now.

Not sure if it helps, but I thought this site had some of the least tacky urns (not that that's saying much). https://www.inthelighturns.com/children-urns.html I thought that the ones that were music boxes were especially nice.

Our first nights that we had the ashes at home, I kept them on my nightstand at night and kept the box wherever I was during the day.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

My son's ashes are in a box we found at Hobby Lobby - it's blue and has two owls [mama owl and baby owl] on it. We keep it in what would've been his room, and it stays with his memory box. When we move, I will probably display it somewhere else in our house. We have not decided if we're going to keep his ashes or spread them when we go to Hawaii for a family vacation in 2014...but for now, they are in that box.

We keep ours in our living room, on one of the shelves of a book shelf. We have them in a box we loved from an antique store. We have the small urn of ashes inside that and got a plaque for the outside of the box.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son ((hugs))

I have Brianna's urn on a shelf next to my side of the bed. I also have a picture of her and her hat from the hospital and an angel statue.

I have a shelf with my other family pictures on and I put Ella's ultrasound in a frame and have her remains in a willow tree box next to the frame.

Sylvie's ashes are in our bedroom on a dresser.

I'm so sorry your dealing with this by the way. We didn't cremate Hunter but we did put a shelf above our bed for our memory boxes and his baptism certificate. We have pictures out in the house and a few on his shelf. I like sleeping under his hand and foot prints, and his hats and blankets.

In a small, delicate silver box from Things Remembered. It is engraved on the top with her name and birth date, and the sides have slots for pictures that we have filled with her NILMDTS photos.

We have an area on top of a cabinet in the living room with his urn, multi picture frame, his cancer awareness bracelet, a couple willow tree figures people gave us, bis favorite McQueen Cars car, and a little giraffe figure. At the hospital he would always point to their stuffed giraffe and roar. Because animals roar, you know.

We try to capture as much of his 2 year old personality we could on his shelf.

I got 2 urns, one for me & the other for my BF. I keep mine on my dresser with the memory box we got from the hospital and a candle. I haven't given my BF's his yet because I secretly am sleeping with it at night.... It's so fresh, I still need to feel my baby close to me.
