Is your family planning to bring a loved one's cremated remains home with you following their cremation services in West Valley City, UT? Many families choose to do this so that they can put their loved one's remains out on display. You're welcome to display a loved one's remains in whichever part of your home you would like. But you should know your options before you pick one over all the rest. Here are some of the best places to put a loved one's remains in your home. 

Foyer 

If you always have a lot of people running in and out of your house and passing through your foyer, you might not want to put a loved one's remains there. It could increase the chances of your loved one's urn getting knocked over and their remains spilling out. But if you feel like your loved one's remains would be safe in your foyer, you might like having them there. You'll be able to see the remains every time you enter your home. You'll also be able to see them every time you go to leave. You'll get some small sense of peace knowing your loved one's remains are always greeting you and saying goodbye. 

Living room 

If you would like to make it feel like your loved one is around long after their West Valley City, UT cremation is complete, putting their remains in your living room might be your best bet. You'll feel like your loved one is hanging out with you and the rest of your family when you're all together in your living room. Even though you'll know that your loved one isn't with you in a physical sense, their presence will still surround you. It'll feel good knowing that you still have a piece of them with you at all times. 

Dining room 

If your family is the type of family that gathers around the dinner table every time to eat, you might like the idea of placing a loved one's remains in your dining room. This way, you can continue to share meals with your loved one when you're gathering with your family. You will obviously want to steer clear of putting your loved one's remains right in the middle of your table. But you should be able to find a safe spot in the back of a hutch or on a shelf on the wall. 

Bedroom 

If you know that you're going to struggle to sleep without a loved one by your side, you might want to go as far as to bring their remains right into your bedroom with you. You'll appreciate having your loved one's remains around while you sleep at night, at least for a little while. Once you get used to sleeping without a loved one, you may want to relocate them to a different part of your house so that others can see the remains, too. But right after a loved one dies, some people like being able to bring their remains into their bedrooms to display them.
