The hippo memorial urn is for the people the hippo always belonged to - the ones whose favorite animal it was from the moment they could say the word, the ones with a whole shelf of them because every relative knew exactly what to buy, the animal lovers who went to see them at the zoo or in the wild, and the ones who filled every room they walked into and were, affectionately, not to be crossed. The hippo looks comic and is one of the animals nobody sensible approaches, which is exactly the joke a lot of families are making. The pink on a hippo's skin is not blood but a natural sunscreen, a fact the people who loved them always enjoyed correcting. This hippopotamus cremation urn is a tribute to the animal that was always theirs, and to the room they filled.
The gunmetal gray finish provides a sophisticated look that sets off the playful engraved hippo. This painted aluminum finish lets the urn stand as a dignified tribute, honoring both the spirited character and the humor that the animal brings to those who love it.
Quality features of this urn:
• durable cast aluminum with a painted finish
• threaded screw-top lid
• felt base to protect display surfaces; wide neck opening for easy filling

This hippo urn for ashes is intended for those who wish to divide remains so that each family member can keep a portion. For families looking to split remains, this will hold one quarter to one fifth of the typical individual remains. We recommend at least one Individual sized urn to be used to hold additional remains. Smaller portions can also be held in a Keepsake urn.
