Green Velvet Bag Urn 13" x 16"

Green velvet in the larger of the two adult sizes, 13 by 16 inches. The extra width over the eleven-inch bag exists for urns that are wide rather than tall: oval brass bodies, square wooden boxes, and companion urns built to hold two people together.

Color choice usually follows either the urn or the person, and green tends to be picked for someone whose life ran outdoors. Practically, the fabric does one thing well: it keeps a polished or lacquered surface from marking while the urn moves between a service, a car, a house and eventually a shelf. Measure across the widest part of the urn, which is normally the shoulder rather than the base.

• Thirteen by sixteen inches, for wide-bodied and companion urns
• Deep forest green, darker in person than it looks on a phone screen
• Measure at the shoulder of the urn, its widest point, before choosing a size
