If you are the caretaker of the cremated remains of a loved one, remember direct sunlight can damage wood and metal. If you select either material, place the urn on a shelf away from a window. You can illuminate it with a ceiling light, but don’t shine the light directly onto it whenever possible. Feel free to send us a message here to hear what urns we have available to best suit your display plans.
