How to Fill a Cremation Urn for Ashes

The process of filling a cremation urn is a deeply personal and symbolic moment, marking the final step in honoring a loved one’s memory. Many consider it a sacred ritual—an intimate act of love and remembrance as the ashes are placed in their final, dignified resting place.

When filling an urn, precision and care are essential.
You may choose to do this yourself or entrust the process to a professional, such as:

1. A Funeral Director or Funeral Attendant

Cremated remains are typically provided in a secure polyethylene bag, placed within a temporary ash container—such as a cardboard tube or a plastic urn—along with an identification label and, depending on the country, an official certificate of cremation. Most funeral directors offer the service of transferring the ashes into a permanent urn. This may involve additional costs, so it is advisable to discuss the options with them in advance.

2. The Crematorium

In many cases, the crematorium where the service took place can assist with filling the urn. If you wish to explore this option, we recommend contacting them directly to confirm availability and any associated costs.

3. Filling the Urn Yourself

If you prefer a more private and personal experience, you may choose to fill the urn yourself or with the support of a trusted family member. With each of our urns, you will receive a detailed filling guide to ensure the process is conducted smoothly and respectfully.

Preparing the Urn

• Before filling, inspect the urn carefully for any imperfections.
• Depending on the urn model, you may choose to have the ashes provided in a sealed bag or a metal container.

Filling the Urn

• Choose a stable surface and lay down a protective sheet to collect any spills.
• Our urns feature various closure mechanisms, including screw tops, secure lids, or glue-sealed plates. If the urn will be placed outdoors, we highly recommend sealing it with an appropriate adhesive for added protection.
  

Final Considerations

Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from the filling or sealing process. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this procedure, we encourage you to reach out to us—we are here to guide and assist you with expertise and care.

Filling a high-end cremation urn is more than a practical step; it is a deeply meaningful ritual. Whether done privately or with professional assistance, it ensures that your loved one’s remains are safeguarded in an elegant, timeless, and beautifully crafted urn—a true tribute to their memory.

How can I return an order to the United Kingdom? 3 steps

We kindly ask you to manually return the article(s) to us using a simple economy parcel shipment via the Royal Mail. Please do not send the parcel via express shipment.

1. Fill in the return form and close the parcel properly
In order for us to handle your return shipment properly, we ask that you fill in the return form as completely as possible and enclose this in the parcel. Please don't forget to include your bank details (preferably IBAN) so we can refund the return costs quickly after. Ensure that your articles are packaged properly.

2. Return parcel and designate as returned goods or gift
Now you can send your parcel via your nearest Royal Mail Service Point. Since the United Kingdom is no longer part of the European Union, you will need to complete some customs documentation. Please ensure you tick the box for “Returned Goods”. Do not select any commercial shipment option, as this will result in import duties being applied to your own returning goods. Kindly note that if you fail to mark your parcel as “Returned Goods”, any resulting charges or fees will be deducted from your order. Here you will find instructions on how to fill in a CN22 form.

The average cost might be up to 15 GBP for the return shipment. This amount, together with your order will be credited when items have been received and processed. *Because we cannot assume responsibility for packages lost or damaged in transit, we recommend you insure your package for the purchase price of the merchandise before sending it back to us. Please send the parcel to the following address:

3. Inform us about return shipment
Please save the proof of the Customs Declaration Note and the receipt of your shipment, make a photo or scan and include this in your reply e-mail once you have returned the parcel.

After receiving your email, we have the tracking information of the parcel, the proof of return costs, and we're aware of your returning your order.

The purchase amount of products returned according to our Returns Policy will be refunded to the payment source (i.e. credit card) used to place the order. Your refund will be for the actual purchase price of the item. For example, if you return an item purchased as part of a sale or promotion, you will receive a refund for the actual amount paid, not the total retail price of the item. You will receive an email notifying you when we have received your return and have credited your account. *Please note: It may take up to two full billing cycles for your credit to appear on your payment source.

What should I do if I have received a damaged product?

We’re really sorry to hear about this. The quickest and easiest way is to send us photos of the damage as soon as possible:

1. photo of the damage to the ordered item(s);
2. photo of the parcel;
3. photo of the packaging used;
4. photo of the shipping label on the box.

Please send the pictures to our email address info@legend-store.com stating your order number or in reply to your order confirmation e-mail.

Now we can assess whether the package must be returned or may be destroyed (especially ceramics and glass can break. In this case, the best thing to do is to dispose of it).

Of course, we will provide you with a new shipment afterward unless you want a different solution.

What should I do if I have received a wrong product?

The return procedure for an incorrectly delivered product is the same as the procedure for returning products.
