Baby Boy Infant Urn

At five inches long and four square, this is a metal infant urn built to the proportions of a very small vessel rather than a shrunken adult one. The sides are plain, the lid lifts away from the top, and the finish is even across the whole body. It weighs little enough to pick up one-handed.

Families choosing an infant urn are working with a far smaller volume than the one-cubic-inch-per-pound rule implies for an adult, and this size accommodates that comfortably. The top opening lets a funeral home transfer everything in a single step and set the lid back in place. On a shelf it takes up roughly the footprint of a paperback book laid flat, which makes it easy to place beside photographs.

• Top-loading lid, no tools needed
• Five by four by four inches; light enough to lift one-handed
• No cubic-inch figure is published; ask the funeral home what volume they hold before ordering
