Nolan White Stone Urn

White stone keeps this urn light in tone where most stone pieces run dark, and the natural mottling shows more clearly against the pale ground. The body is nine inches long and six and a half both deep and high, a squared-off shape that sits low. Its surface is left smooth rather than polished to a shine.

Two hundred cubic inches is the capacity, which matches an adult of roughly 200 lb under the one-inch-per-pound rule. If the person was heavier than that, step up to a larger urn rather than risk a tight fit. This size works on a mantel, in a columbarium niche where the shelf allows nine inches of width, or for burial in a plot or an urn garden.

• 200 cu in: an adult up to about 200 lb
