An urn is a vase, often with a cover, with a typically narrowed neck above a rounded body and a footed pedestal. Describing a vessel as an "urn", as opposed to a vase or other terms, generally reflects its use rather than any particular shape or origin. The term is especially often used for funerary urns, vessels used in burials, either to hold the cremated ashes. This Brass Urn comes with top opening with a threaded lid and felt bottom. The Golden Pattern are uniquely engraved by hand for each urn to show beautiful detail giving the FUNERAL URN a unique look to each finished product. Our urns are handcrafted uniquely by an ancient process called sand casting.
