When you're considering purchasing a Cremation Urn, you'll be looking at an instrument whose conception dates back to around 3,000 B.C. Cremation is widely believed to have begun in southern Europe and during the end of of the Bronze Age (2,500-1,000 B.C.), it began to spread upwards to Northern Europe and Western Russia.
The early Romans seemingly embraced cremation some time around 600 B.C. and it apparently became so prevalent that an official decree had to be issued in the mid 5th Century against the cremation of bodies within the city. By the time of the Roman Empire -- 27 B.C. to 395 A.D. -- it was widely practiced, and cremated remains were generally stored in elaborate urns, often within columbarium-like buildings.
Modern cremation began just over a century ago as a result of the development of a dependable chamber. The cremation movement started almost simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic after Professor Brunetti of Italy perfected and displayed his model at the 1873 Vienna Exposition. Since modernization, Cremation has become an increasingly popular choice over burials.
