Scarlet Marble Urn

Aluminum with a scarlet marbled finish, this urn is taller and narrower than most: 12.5 inches high on an 8-inch body, with a swirled red surface and a polished lid. The metal is lighter in the hand than its size suggests, which surprises people expecting stone from the name.

Capacity is 228 cubic inches, so it fits an adult up to roughly 228 pounds with a little margin. The lid lifts from the top for filling, so you never invert it. Height is the thing to check here: 12.5 inches clears most mantels but not every columbarium niche, so measure the niche opening before you order.

• Aluminum body with a marbled scarlet finish, not natural stone.
• Top-opening lid; no need to turn the urn over to fill it.
• Engraving is available as a paid add-on at checkout.
