Holy Bible Children's Urn

Shaped like a closed Bible lying flat, this metal urn is three and a half inches long, under three wide, and only an inch thick. It sits on a shelf or a bedside table looking like a small book rather than an urn, which is exactly why some families choose it.

Nine cubic inches is the interior volume. At one cubic inch per pound of body weight, that covers a newborn of up to about nine pounds; for an older child it will hold a token portion rather than the whole. Ask the funeral home for the volume of ashes being returned before you decide, because the difference matters more here than it would on a larger urn.

• 9 cu in — a newborn, or a token portion for an older child
• Flat book shape, one inch thick, easy to shelve or to pack
