Everything ends. Nothing lasts forever, and nothing is meant to last forever, not even the universe. The universe began with the Big Bang and it has continuously expanded ever since. But it is theorized that the Big Crunch will come eventually and universe will stop expanding and implode on itself. Unfortunately for the universe, while wholesale urns exist within it, they do not exist for it.
There is no escaping death. It comes for everyone and everything and at any time. There is nothing in the world that can stop it. It takes and it takes and it gives neither an inch nor a care as to who it is taking. It does matter if a person has a family who needs them. Death has never discriminated. Color, creed, or class, all are equal and all equally die.
Human try everything in their power to hold on for as long as possible. Many try to extend the natural lifespan, expending resources to take pseudoscientific pills and treatments under the belief that doing so means not dying. Being healthy does extend the natural lifespan, but dying is not always natural. Accidents and murders happen.
But some people do not try to extend life, merely to leave a legacy. For many people, a legacy means descendants, sons to carry on a family name and daughters to birth those who carry on the bloodline. To others, legacy means personal greatness, to achieve something so profound that their name is remembered even hundreds of years after shuffling off the mortal coil.
Across the world, different cultures have different funerary rites for the dead. The common thread between all of them is the dead are respected, even if they did nothing in life to earn such esteem. In many cultures, the corpse is interred in the ground, returned to the earth.
Living can be done with reckless abandon, lived from only from moment to moment. But barring a sudden death, dying is done slowly. The body deteriorates over time. But that time gives a person the chance to get their affairs in order, to make it easier for loved ones that remain.
Coffins are probably the single greatest expense in a funeral and also the greatest waste of money a person can ever buy. A coffin exists to go into the ground. Sure, it contains a dead body inside, but the fact of the matter remains even the grandest coffins still end up getting stuck in the ground. The cost of the coffin does not even cover the cost and upkeep of the grave. An urn is simply more cost effective.
An urn does not need to be shoved into the ground. It can be stored on a shelf. The deceased is not going to care, on account of being dead.
The scariest thing about dying is how inevitable it is. Humanity prides itself on control and dying is completely out of human control. But it happens to everyone and affairs should be settled beforehand.
