Metal urns are a durable and elegant choice for families looking for a lasting cremation urn. Haven Casket & Monument carries metal urns in a range of finishes, colors, shapes, and styles, including simple designs and more decorative options for home display, columbarium placement, or burial where permitted.
Families often choose a metal urn because it feels strong, secure, and timeless. Many adult urns for ashes can also be personalized with engraving, depending on the material, finish, and available space on the urn. Whether you prefer a classic brass urn, a modern silver finish, or a more detailed memorial design, our team can help you compare options with care and clarity.
We offer engraving service on your selected metal cremation urn. Engrave directly on the surface of your selected urn to make it truly personally.
The right metal urn depends on how the urn will be used, where it will be placed, and whether you want engraving or other personalization. Some families choose metal urns for display at home because of their polished finish and solid feel. Others choose them for placement in a columbarium niche or for burial, depending on cemetery or crematorium requirements.
Metal urns are available in many styles, from simple and traditional to more decorative or modern. Some designs have smooth surfaces that work well for engraving, while others may include detailed patterns, artwork, or textured finishes. If personalization matters to your family, we can help confirm which urns can be engraved before production begins.
Metal urns are probably the most popular type of urn we offer due to their lower cost and the durable nature of the material. Our metal urns are made of varying types of metal including bronze, steel, copper etc. Some of the urns at Haven Casket are actually a mix of several different types of metal, providing for an artistic effect.
If the urn will be placed in a columbarium, cemetery niche, or memorial space, size restrictions may also apply. Before ordering, confirm the required dimensions with the cemetery or crematorium if the urn will not be kept at home.
