Glossy magenta-purple with a gold-tone lid and base, the Gleaming Purple Urn is a vibrant, joyful tribute.
Made from brass, it has the solid feel and durability families look for in a permanent memorial, at home or in a columbarium niche.
You can have the urn engraved (up to 135 characters), and you can also add an engraved medallion nameplate or an engraved wood base for display.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if this urn is the right size?
Funeral directors typically recommend about one cubic inch per pound of body weight before cremation. At 228 cubic inches, this urn works for most adults up to around 228 pounds.
Is a metal urn OK for air travel?
It can be difficult. TSA must be able to X-ray cremated remains in carry-on luggage, and metal blocks a clear image. A temporary container for the flight, with the urn shipped or packed separately, is usually the easiest option. Check TSA and your airline's rules first.
How do I keep the finish looking new?
Dust it gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. To keep the finish looking its best, avoid water, abrasive cleaners and spots with high humidity.
Can I get this urn in time for a service?
Yes, we move quickly. Weekday orders placed by 1:00 PM CST ship the same business day, and engraved orders ship the same day when the proof is approved by 1:00 PM CST. After the cutoff, orders ship the next business day. Business hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
