Life's Journey Brass Keepsake

Just under two and three quarter inches tall, this brass keepsake has the smallest footprint of the group at 1.75 inches square. It is plain brass, without inlay or applied color, which is part of why it takes engraved text cleanly across the body. The top lifts off.

It holds about 4 cubic inches, a token portion of ashes and not a full set. That size suits a bedside drawer, a jewelry box, or a shelf where a full urn would be too much presence in the room. If several people want a piece of their own once the main urn is chosen, this is the least expensive way in the range to do it.

• 1.75 inch square base — the smallest footprint in this group
• Plain brass body takes engraved text cleanly
• Lift-off top; fill it with a funnel and set the lid back down
