In cremation context, what is an urn used to hold?

• A. Casket.
• B. Cremated remains.
• C. Flowers.
• D. Documents.

Answer: (B)

An urn is the container designed to hold cremated remains, the ashes left after the body has been cremated. This vessel serves as a memorial keepsake and can be kept at home, placed in a niche, or buried, depending on the family’s wishes. It’s specifically made to contain ashes, and there are various sizes and styles, including keepsake urns for sharing portions among family members. It isn’t used to hold a casket, which is the container for the body before or during cremation. Flowers may accompany the urn in a service, but they aren’t stored inside it. Documents aren’t kept in an urn either.
