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.
Bathed in a Rose Pink painted finish, this aluminum urn captures a sense of warmth and gentle charm. The soft color gives a gentle look that honors the unique and spirited personality of the animal.
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
• matching velour bag available separately ($6.95)
The hippo memorial urn provides a way to divide a loved one's remains among many. 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. A Keepsake is also available for those wanting a smaller portion.

A sharing urn is our mid size, about 6 inches high. It holds a meaningful portion of the remains, measured in cups, not all of them. Choose this when dividing ashes between households, or keeping some close after scattering the rest. It is not a keepsake, and it is not a full-size individual urn.
A keepsake is pocket size, about 3 inches high. It holds a small token: a few spoonfuls. A personal remembrance for each family member, or something small for a shelf or bedside table. A sharing urn is larger: a real home-display piece with more room for names, dates, and artwork you can actually read more easily. They are two sizes, not two names for the same urn.
A meaningful portion, measured in cups, not all of an adult’s remains. Each sharing urn lists its max size in the product description. If you are choosing one urn for one person, that is an individual urn (full size, about 10 inches high). If you only need a small token, that is a keepsake.
Yes. A common plan is one individual urn, a sharing urn for the household that wants a piece on the shelf, and keepsakes for everyone who wants a small remembrance. The funeral home will divide and transfer the ashes if you would rather not do it yourself. If you are unsure which mix fits your family, contact us. We do this with families every day.

A keepsake (about 3" tall, from $27.95) holds a few spoonfuls, a personal remembrance for each family member.

Our premium urns are finished in hand-applied enamel: glossier, deeper and more luminous than standard paint, with a rich, jewel-like depth of color and added durability. They are then adorned with intricate hand-hammered metal detailing: ornate, sculpted bands worked by hand around the lid and shoulder that catch the light. The result is an elevated, one-of-a-kind memorial you can feel as well as see.
Our classic painted finish over solid metal: a smooth, even color offered across our widest range of shades. The understated look keeps the focus on your engraving and artwork, holds its color over time, and suits most memorials. A timeless, versatile choice that pairs beautifully with any sentiment or design.
