American Glory Urn

Stars and stripes are set into the front panel of this brass urn, with the flag kept to one face so the remaining sides stay plain metal. It is most often bought for a veteran, though nothing on it is specific to a branch of service, which makes it workable for anyone the flag meant something to. The lid seats on top and comes away in a single motion.

Eleven inches tall and rated at 220 cubic inches, it takes an adult who weighed up to about 220 pounds. That is full standard adult size rather than a compromise. Families keep it on a shelf at home, place it in a columbarium niche, or bury it in a vault; for burial, the funeral home can seal the lid seam first.

• Flag detail sits on the front only, leaving three plain brass faces
• 220 cubic inches, matched to an adult of roughly 220 pounds or less
• Slightly taller than most at 11 inches, so check niche height before ordering
