Filling your
glass urn
There is no single right way to fill a glass urn. The video below shows one method — feel free to do what feels most comfortable and meaningful to you.
Optional accessories
The video shows the use of a transparent drawstring bag and a round black self-adhesive cover plate to fill and seal the urn. These accessories are not included with the urn and are not required — they are simply one way of doing it.
You are free to fill the urn however feels right for you and your loved one. Some choose to use the bag and cover plate for a clean, secure seal. Others prefer a different approach. There is no wrong way.
If you would like to use the accessories shown in the video, they can be ordered separately. The drawstring bag closes with a thin cord, and the cover plate adheres like a sticker when pressed firmly for a few seconds.
Take your time. There is no rush. If you have any questions about filling your urn, please don't hesitate to contact us — we are happy to help.
