Timeless Journey Brass Urn

Brass, polished rather than painted, carries the whole of this urn's look — the finish is the decoration. It stands ten and a half inches, tall enough to hold its own on a mantel between photographs. The lid seats into the top of the neck.

Inside there is 220 cubic inches of space. Under the standard rule of one cubic inch per pound of body weight before death, that covers an adult up to roughly 220 lb, with a margin over the more common 200 cu in size. It is a straightforward urn to fill: lift the lid, lower the bag in, seat the lid back down. Only the height is published by the supplier, so allow generous shelf depth.

• Top loading, which makes filling at home simpler than a base plate
• Suits an adult up to about 220 lb
• A name and dates can be engraved for an added fee, selected above
