Memory Urns sells urns only; we are not a funeral home or crematory. Most funeral homes and crematories will transfer ashes into an urn you bring, or you can do it at home.

Missouri rules for keeping and scattering ashes

Here is what state sources say. Local rules, parks and cemeteries can add their own requirements, so check with them before you plan a scattering or burial.

• We found no Missouri statute limiting where a family may keep or scatter ashes. Ask the landowner or the agency that manages the land before scattering anywhere that isn't yours.
• Missouri law sets out what a funeral establishment may do with ashes left unclaimed after 90 days' written notice, including placing them in a scattering garden or columbarium (RSMo 194.350).

Choosing an urn for your plans

If you plan to keep the ashes at home, a full-size marble cremation urn or granite urn is made to last on display. If you are scattering most of the ashes, a keepsake urn keeps a small portion close. For burial, ask the cemetery whether it requires an urn vault; see can cremation urns be buried.

Not sure of the size? Allow about one cubic inch for each pound of healthy body weight; our urn size guide explains it.
