My sister was cremated and I got her ashes today. I bought a Purple Urn for her (purple was her favorite color). The thing is I really don't want to transfer the Ashes myself (kinda hard on me). Would a funeral home or some one else do it???

I'm sorry

Perhaps they might - I don't see why not. I would call them to find out...

A funeral home would be a great place to start.

it can't hurt to ask...

I'm so sorry, bud!
thats a really hard task, and my heart goes out to you

ask the funeral director, or a close friend to do it
you shouldn't have to

Thanks sammij and everybody else. You guys are gold.

I don't mean to belittle the experience by being so clinical, but usually the remains are bagged and you just place the bag in the urn.

I'm sorry for your sister, I just wanted to offer that up. I fear that a funeral home would need to charge you to do anything like that.

Did you purchase the urn from a funeral parlor?

I'm sure a funeral home would do it, or perhaps a close friend as thekidsgirl suggested? I agree - it would be way too hard for you to do it but I'm sure that any good friend of hers would be honoured if you asked them to help out.

well it doesn't hurt to ask.
I'd do it for you if you were here

I'm sure the funeral home would do it if you asked.

Well I just came back from the funeral home. They did it for free. They were very nice (thanks Miles & Pete).
