Urn carriers give funeral homes an opportunity to raise cremation services to the level of traditional funeral services while increasing the use of coaches or hearses and limousines. Urn carriers help enhance the dignity of many aspects of cremation cases by permitting use of pallbearers, and adding ceremony to viewings, memorial services, church services, processions and graveside burials and columbarium interments.
