Hot Air Balloon Keepsake Urn - Purple Luster

The hot air balloon memorial urn honors the people who stopped everything for a balloon - the pilots and crews who were out on a field before dawn most weekends of the season, the ones who finally took the ride for a big birthday after talking about it for years, the festival-goers who stood in the cold every year to watch the mass ascension, and the ones who pulled the car over and called everybody outside whenever a balloon drifted over the house. Ballooning happens in the still air just after sunrise, and it takes a whole crew to give one basket a quiet hour. The first passengers, in 1783, were a sheep, a duck and a rooster, sent up by the Montgolfier brothers to see if anything could survive the trip. This hot air balloon cremation urn is a tribute to early mornings, good company, and a sky worth stopping for.

Purple Luster brings to mind an envelope panel catching the early sun, painted across this cast aluminum keepsake urn. The engraved balloon brings back every morning a balloon went over the house.

Quality features of this urn:
• durable cast aluminum with a painted finish
• threaded screw-top lid
• felt base to protect display surfaces
• complimentary velour drawstring bag included

This keepsake urn holds a very small portion of cremated remains, roughly the size of a small medicine bottle. It is a thoughtful way for family members to each hold a token amount of ashes close to them. A complimentary velour drawstring bag is included to protect the finish during storage or transport. For those seeking more space, our Sharing and Individual urns are also available.
