Modern Purple Urn

Deep eggplant purple with a slender, modern profile and silver-tone lid, the Modern Purple Urn is sleek and refined.

Made from brass, it has the solid feel and durability families look for in a permanent memorial, at home or in a columbarium niche.

There are several ways to personalize it: engrave the urn itself, add an engraved medallion nameplate, or display it on an engraved wood base.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size urn do I need?

A common guideline is one cubic inch of capacity for every pound of body weight before cremation, so a 220 cubic inch urn like the Modern Purple Urn generally fits an adult who weighed up to about 220 pounds.

Can I take a metal urn on a plane?

TSA requires cremated remains in carry-on bags to pass through X-ray screening, and metal urns often cannot be screened clearly. Many families travel with the remains in a temporary container and transfer them into the urn at home. Check current TSA and airline rules before you fly.

How do I care for a brass urn?

Wipe the urn with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh chemical cleaners, which can scratch or dull the finish.

How quickly will my urn ship?

Orders placed by 1:00 PM CST, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day. For engraved orders, the engraving proof needs to be approved by 1:00 PM CST to ship that day. Orders completed after the cutoff ship the next business day. Our team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
