Urns for Army Soldiers

Losing a loved one who served in the army can be devastating, as often these members of our families die while serving their country. Army urns are a wonderful memorial for paying tribute to someone who was completely selfless and who loved their country enough to give their life in return. Even if a loved one who served in the armed forces loses their life in another manner, Army urns show respect and represent an area of their life that was especially important.

Those who serve in the military often spend months and even years away from their family and friends in order to pursue a higher calling. They risk their lives, live under dangerous conditions, and often suffer through devastating experiences. When a family member or loved one who has served in the military passes, they deserve special recognition. Army urns are the perfect way to show not only your respect, but your love and gratitude.

Whether your loved one would have preferred to be buried at land or sea or have their ashes scattered, Army urns come in a wide variety of designs and styles for any need. From the Army Medallion Urn made from poplar wood and adorned with a brass medallion to the Peaceful Pillow Army Military Burial at Sea Urn, you will find that these urns offer not only a way to memorialize your loved one properly, but help you through the grieving process as well. In the Light Urns has also added the walking stick memorial urns to our military collection. When you know you have made the right decision in choosing an urn for your loved one, it gives you great peace of mind.

Of the Army urns available today, perhaps the most unique is the Army Walking Stick Memorial Keepsake Urn, which allows the ashes of a loved one to be placed in a slim tube inside of the walking stick. This can be cherished as a family heirloom, or even placed in a spouse's casket upon their death.

For those looking for something with a bit more of a patriotic flair, the Soaring Eagle urns are exquisite. Crafted of marble finished polystone and embellished with a hand finished pewter eagle, these military cremation urns are regal and especially fitting for a loved one who was dedicated to his country.

No matter what your tastes or needs (or preferences of your loved one), you will find a suitable memorial for a loved one who was filled with pride to serve his/her country!

Some individuals make their wishes known prior to their passing. When a loved one wants their ashes scattered at sea, biodegradable urns are an excellent choice because the urn will disintegrate shortly after absorbing water.

The most important thing to remember is that you want to choose a burial urn that you believe your loved one would have appreciated, and to think about what you plan to do with the cremation urn before you make a final decision.
