Why Offer Laser Engraved Personalized Urns?
With a large portion of your customers choosing cremation combined with the rising trend of personalized goods and services, your customers are now expecting, it is important for your business to offer products to satisfy both of these rising demands. Why not do that with laser engraved personalized urns?
You can look at cremation as a low cost, low profit, bottom of the line sale, or you can take advantage of it and turn it into a high-profit opportunity.

An urn that reflected their life, memories, and all of the unique characteristics that made them the person they were?

Matthew Buxton, Funeral Director at Buxton & Bass Okeechobee Funeral Home and Crematory states:
“In most cases I will add a $65 engraving charge to an urn. Sometimes, I add a complimentary engraving to an urn purchase. By doing that, I am selling more urns. I had a family that originally was going with a cardboard minimum container and when I offered the engraving at no charge, the decided to go with a $325 MDF urn that I pay about $40 for. That is extra money that I otherwise would not have been able to make.”
Laser Engraved Urn Designs
There are many design options for personalization on an urn. Getting to know your family and learning about their loved one will help determine what kind of artwork they may like. Most everybody is passionate about something whether it be their religion, music, sports, family, animals, or even skydiving – there is artwork out there to capture any interest.

Many of the funeral homes we work with use laser engraved urns and they tell us that the families of the deceased love the detail that laser engraving offers. We haven’t seen any of the urns containing images, although the text is always beautifully styled.
