Purple Urns: Rich in Appearance and Significance

February 21, 2017 Kim Stacey

Purple is a magnificent color combining the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. Long the choice of royals and the wildly ambitious (think Cyrus, King of Persia, and Alexander the Great, both of whom often wore purple garments); the color is also believed to uplift the spirit and calm emotions. It is also thought to encourage creativity and inspire spirituality. For any (or all) of these reasons, for many people, purple is the perfect color for a loved one’s cremation urn.
