Blue Aluminum Urn

Blue is the whole point of this one: a deep, even tone across an aluminum body that holds its color from the shoulder down to the base. It is 7.5 inches across and 8.75 inches tall, wider in proportion than most urns of this height, which gives it a settled look on a shelf. The lid comes off the top.

At 300 cubic inches this is a large urn by the usual measure, suited to an adult up to about 300 pounds. Aluminum keeps it light for the size, which matters if it is being carried into a service or moved between family homes. Top loading is straightforward for a funeral home to handle in one pass. For a columbarium niche, check both the 7.5 inch width and the 8.75 inch height against the opening.
