Windsor Brass Wood Urn

Wood and brass together on a low rectangular body, 9.5 inches long and 5.5 inches tall. The proportions are wider than they are high, which suits a mantel or a shelf where a tall urn would look top-heavy. Brass detailing breaks up the grain without turning the piece into an ornament.

Capacity is 210 cubic inches. At roughly one cubic inch per pound of pre-death body weight, that covers an adult up to about 210 pounds. Filling is done through a screw opening in the base, so the urn stays closed and level once it is set down, and the closure can be reopened later if ashes are ever divided among family.

• Bottom screw opening, with no adhesive needed unless you want it sealed for burial.
• Measures 9.5 by 6 by 5.5 inches, so check niche width before ordering for a columbarium.
• Wood and brass together: a dry cloth suits both, and metal polish will mark the wood.
