Green Fire Urn

Color does most of the work here: a deep green finish laid over metal, shifting between darker and lighter as the light moves across the surface. That movement is where the name comes from. It is a full-size cremation urn rather than a keepsake, so it is bought to hold everything, not a portion.

Exact capacity and dimensions are not listed for this piece. If you are buying for a columbarium niche, or you need to be certain it takes a full adult set of ashes, confirm the figures with us before ordering. As a general rule, adult ashes need about one cubic inch of capacity per pound of pre-death body weight, and a standard adult urn runs near 200 cubic inches.

• Metal construction, better suited to indoor display or a niche than to direct burial in soil.
• Weight is not published either; ask us if it has to travel by post or sit on a light shelf.
• The green is a finish over metal, so a dry cloth is safer on it than any polish.
