Timeless Pewter Keepsake

Pewter-grey finish over a brass body gives this keepsake a soft matte surface rather than a bright metallic shine. It measures about three inches tall and 1.75 inches across, small enough to sit in a cupped hand. The lid lifts clear of the top.

Capacity is about 4 cubic inches, which is a token portion of ashes rather than a full set. Most families buy one after a larger urn has already been chosen, so that a sibling or a child has something of their own, or so there is something small enough to keep in a drawer or a memory box. Fill it with the small funnel most funeral homes provide, then set the lid back in place.

• Top opening, so the lid lifts away with no threads to line up
• Roughly 4 cu in: a spoonful or two of ashes, not a complete set
• The matte grey hides handling marks better than the polished brass keepsakes here
