Navy Brass Urn

A Navy anchor emblem is set against bright polished brass here, with a banded lid and no other ornament. The finish is left shiny rather than antiqued, so it picks up light on a shelf instead of receding into it. Base is 5 by 5 inches, height 10 inches.

Capacity is 210 cubic inches, which covers an adult who weighed up to about 210 pounds. It loads from the bottom, so you can fill it without handling the emblem side at all, and the closed plate makes it safe to transport to a burial, a scattering, or a ship-based committal where the urn is returned to the family afterward.

• Bottom loading plate, hand tightened; no tools needed to fill it
• Add engraving on this page for a name, dates or a short line of text
• Wipe with a dry soft cloth; polish sparingly to keep the finish even
