Buccaneer's Ship Keepsake

Modeled on a sailing ship, this brass keepsake is one of the few pieces in the range that does not look like an urn at all. It measures six inches across and five long, standing 2.75 inches high, so it reads as a small desk model. Ashes go in through the underside.

Eight cubic inches is roughly double what a standard keepsake holds, but it is still a token portion rather than a whole set. Families choose it for someone who sailed, fished, or served at sea, and it usually sits on a desk or a bookshelf rather than beside the main urn. The base plate comes away for filling, so the deck and the hull stay unmarked.

• Bottom-loading base plate; the visible faces stay intact
• 8 cu in — larger than most keepsakes, still a token portion
• Suits a desk or a shelf rather than a niche or burial
