Florence Memory Box / Urn

Larger than an urn and shaped like a chest, the Florence measures fourteen and a half inches across, ten deep and twelve and a half tall. That is furniture scale rather than shelf scale. The extra volume is deliberate: the ashes go in, and there is still room for letters, photographs, a watch or a pair of glasses.

Urn capacity is 250 cubic inches, which covers an adult up to about 250 pounds. Everything loads from the top, so you can open it again later to add something without unscrewing a base plate. Families who cannot decide between an urn and a keepsake box tend to end up here. Give it a low table, a closet shelf or the top of a dresser rather than a mantel, since at this size a mantel will look crowded.
