Serenity Keepsake

Standing three and a quarter inches on a footprint smaller than a business card, this brass keepsake is built for a spot where a full urn will not go: a nightstand, a shelf in an office, a columbarium niche that already has a larger urn in it.

Four cubic inches goes inside, filled from the top. That is a portion, not a complete set of ashes. Sizing a main urn takes about one cubic inch per pound of the person's body weight, so most adults need close to 200. Several of these can be ordered together when a family wants to divide a portion between households without dividing the main urn.

• 4 cu in capacity, top loading.
• 1.75 by 1 inch base and 3.25 inches tall — check niche or shelf depth.
• The base is narrower than the body, so it wants a level shelf rather than a cloth runner.
