Regal Gold Brass Urn

Six and a half inches square at the base and ten and a half tall, this urn is narrower than most 200-cubic-inch pieces, which makes it easier to slide into a niche that is tight from side to side. The brass carries a warm gold finish, with a worked band around the shoulder and the front panel left clear. The lid lifts from the top.

Two hundred cubic inches is the standard adult figure and suits someone who weighed up to about 200 pounds. If the person was heavier than that, size up rather than risk a fit that will not close. The square footprint is worth noting too: it will not rock or roll on an uneven shelf, which matters more than most buyers expect.

• Footprint is 6.5 by 6.5 inches, so measure niche width before you order
• Top opening, filled upright with the urn standing on a table
• Shoulder band leaves the front panel clear, which is where engraved text sits best
