Sansa Large Wood Urn

Standing 10 inches tall on an 8 by 6.5 inch base, this is the upright option among the wood urns rather than a low chest. The height suits a mantel or a shelf where the urn is meant to be seen. The grain is left visible under the finish.

It holds 225 cubic inches, which by the one cubic inch per pound guide fits an adult up to about 225 lb. The base is fastened with four screws, so filling is a deliberate job done once with a screwdriver rather than something opened and closed casually. That also makes it a reasonable choice for burial inside an urn vault.

• Four base screws hold the panel; keep a small Phillips driver on hand
• The 10 inch height needs headroom, so measure the shelf above before ordering
• Fits an adult to roughly 225 lb on the one cubic inch per pound rule
