No amount of soothing words, I repeat, no amount of soothing and calming words, can compensate for the loss of a dear one. The gap cannot be filled with anything else. After one life ends, the only thing that can be done is to let the soul depart and save the ashes in the most respectful way possible.
In this era of modernisation, how we perceive and handle our loved ones passing has changed drastically. More and more families are opting for cremation, not only in India but worldwide. With such a change in preferences, the demand for cremation urns has risen too. At Square N Circle, we make it our duty to offer high-quality urns that serve as the final resting place of the loved ones.
Whether you want to opt for wooden urns for their natural warmth or urns for ashes for adults that are just an extension of the personality of the dead, knowing everything about the urns is vital.
A Cremation Urn is not just a container. People who have lost someone exactly know what I am saying here. For them, an urn is the permanent home of their loved ones. They get a sense of comfort knowing that they have paid their tribute in the form of choosing beautiful urns. It is a sign of a life well lived. The bereaved can heave a sigh of relief. A well-thought-out urn is a visual representation of a life well lived.
Long ago, when the language Latin was prevalent, "urceus" was a word used to describe a water pot or a pitcher. Later, somewhere around 7000 BCE, in a remote location in China, people started using urns for saving ashes.
Not all urns are created equal. The material of the urn decides where it will be finally placed: in a home, a columbarium, or under the earth.
Wooden urns have come out to be one of the most preferred choices for cremation today. They are manufactured from high-quality hardwoods like teak and rosewood. They offer a distinctive pattern.
One of the couples that I know that was together for the longest time was my grandparents. My grandmother died last year, followed by my grandfather, who passed away just 2 months after that. Such love they carried for each other in their hearts. They only had one wish when they started to grow old—to be put to rest together. To remain together in life and death, they say. They chose urns for true love so that they could be together even after death.
These urns are larger and have the capacity to hold the ashes of 2 people.
When choosing the urns for adults, one of the most important factors is the capacity of the urn. Generally, standard urns are designed to hold the ashes of a human with 90-120 kg of weight.
Keepsake Urns are much smaller than the full-sized ones. They are designed for siblings who want to share the ashes of their loved ones, say parents. They are also used in cases where the family members wish to scatter maximum ashes and keep a small amount for ‘,memory.'
The name says it all. Veteran urns are specially designed for people who have died in wars. These urns come with patriotic signs on them. At Square and Circle, we use a special technique to add ranks and years of service, thus honourng the brave ones who have now left us.
People who have lived their lives incorporating sustainability in their lives and who want to go in the same way often wish to be put inside eco-friendly burial urns. They break down naturally and do not leave any permanent impact on nature.
Some people raise pets as they raise their children and want a respected departure for them. Birds, hamsters, dogs, etc., when they become a part of the family, are often departed in special urns made for them. Sometimes, these urns come with engraved pictures of the pets and their paw prints too.
People who are also wholesalers should make it their responsibility to advise families on the various types of urns.

Square and Circle is located in Nagina, Bijnor (India). Often known as the “wood city” of India, Bijnore is known for offering high-quality wooden products, including wooden urns.
Our skilled and diligent workers take care of everything. One of the biggest issues with wood is that it can crack or warp. Keeping this in mind, wood is carved in specific seasons so that there is no presence of moisture. This makes the wood last for a long period of time.
Many European cities have now accepted the tradition of burying urns underground, rather than burying the casket. This is done due to space restrictions. Similarly, Japan has one of the most technologically advanced columbariums due to the same issue—scarcity of space.
We are one of the most trusted urn manufacturers in India. Often, we receive concerns like, “How do I know if the ashes will fit in the urn?"
To ensure that the ashes fit in the urn, we use the calculator. 1 cubic inch of urn space for every 1 lb of body weight.
| Individual Weight (Lbs) | Required Capacity (Cubic Inches) | Urn Type Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 50 lbs | 50 cu in | Small / Pet Urn |
| 100 - 150 lbs | 150 cu in | Medium Adult Urn |
| 200 - 220 lbs | 200 cu in | Standard Adult Urn |
| 350+ lbs | 400 cu in | Companion / Urns for True Love |

Some ancient cultures believed that the soul should not feel trapped inside the vessel. For the exact reason, a hole was built inside the urn so that the soul could come and go as it pleased.
Yes, but they will eventually biodegrade. If you want the urn to remain intact underground for a longer period, it should be placed inside a "burial vault" (a protective outer container).

Most of our wooden urns feature a sliding bottom panel secured with a screw. For a permanent seal, a small amount of wood glue or silicone sealant can be applied to the edges before closing the panel.
