Classic Mother Of Pearl Brass

Mother-of-pearl shell is set into the brass across the face of this urn, so the surface shifts between cream, pink and pale green depending on where the light falls. It is a tall piece, ten and a half inches high on a 6.5 inch square base, and heavier in the hand than a plated urn of the same size. The lid seats into the top.

Two hundred and twenty cubic inches is the interior volume, which fits an adult up to about 220 lb by the usual one-inch-per-pound measure. Filling is done from the top, the simplest arrangement if you are doing it yourself at home rather than leaving it to the funeral home. Personalization here is by engraved medallion rather than engraving cut into the metal.

• Engraved medallion available as a paid add-on
• 220 cu in — an adult up to roughly 220 lb
• Free ground shipping; engraved orders ship once the proof is approved
