Highlands Cedar Wood Urn

Cedar carries its own scent and its own reddish grain, and this urn is finished to let both come through. The shape is low and rectangular, 10 inches wide by 7 deep and only 6 inches tall, with clean edges, a flush lid and no ornament on any face.

Inside it holds 220 cubic inches, which covers an adult who weighed up to roughly 220 pounds. The base opens for filling. A low profile like this one is genuinely useful when the shelf you have in mind has a cabinet, a mirror or a picture hanging close above it and a tall urn simply will not go there.

• Cedar body; keep it away from direct heat to protect the finish.
• Bottom panel removes for filling, then screws back down.
• Engraving can be added to the lid or front for a fee.
