Floating Shelf Urn

If you aren’t a fan of the more traditional-looking urns, then we bet you’ll love this creative option! With the floating shelf urn, the remains of the deceased are housed in the wooden shelf itself which offers the memorial display a more subtle look. Be sure to add a photo of the deceased and an important memento so that every time you look at the shelf you are not only reminded of your loved one but feel closer to them. Going online for this type of urn shelf is probably your best bet as the selection is wider and you have the option of selecting the wood for the shelf itself!

Urn Display Shelf

For a more laidback and simple display, seek out any free shelf in your house to display your loved one’s urn. You can personalize this option by including photos, books, mementos, or any other meaningful keepsake of the deceased’s. This option is one of the simplest as all it requires of you is the deceased’s urn and some light decorating.

Memorial Table

If you aren’t feeling the shelf options, a memorial table is a very similar and simple way to go as well! With this option, you’ll want to select a table in your house, whether that is a bedside table, hallway table, or any other is completely up to you. Like the previous alternatives, be sure to adorn the area with some light mementos and decorations. We suggest opting for flameless candles and flowers.

Memorial Wall or Room

A memorial wall can look however you want, but we suggest decorating the entire wall of your choosing with photos of the deceased! This is a great way to not just honor your loved one but to use as a creative outlet during this difficult time in your life. Additionally, you can also opt to dedicate a room specifically for the intention of memorializing the deceased. You should feel free to get creative with this option as well. The memorial room can be a place where you relax with a book or sit and reminisce on happier times with your loved one.

Wall-Mounted Urns

Similar to the floating shelf urn, the wall-mounted urn houses the deceased while also displaying either a quote, pictures, or other various designs of your choosing. This is a great option as it can be mounted anywhere you wish in your home!
