Sharing Urns

A sharing urn serves as a middle size within a collection, holding a larger portion of remains than a small keepsake but not intended to hold a full amount. These cast aluminum vessels provide a capacity of approximately 40 cubic inches, offering a substantial presence that is distinct from smaller keepsake items.

Choosing this size allows you to hold a meaningful part of their memory within your own home. It provides a way to keep them near your daily life, offering a sense of closeness that does not require the scale of a full-sized memorial.

Families are often spread across different towns and households. Dividing remains allows each home to maintain a steady presence, ensuring that no one is left far from the person they miss.

When your family is scattered, this approach allows you to keep them close to your heart and your home. It ensures that the connection you shared remains a constant part of your environment, no matter the distance between houses.

In terms of capacity, a sharing urn holds between one quarter and one fifth of typical individual remains. For the remaining portion, we recommend using at least one individual size urn to ensure all remains are properly held.

This allows each household to have a dedicated vessel that fits their specific needs while ensuring every family member has a piece of what was shared. It is a way to balance the physical reality of their remains with the emotional need for everyone to have a connection.

These cast aluminum pieces are available in a variety of painted colors or in a hand-applied enamel finish featuring hand-detailed silver bands. Many designs also incorporate various engraved artwork patterns to provide a unique appearance.

You may find that a specific color or a particular pattern reflects the spirit of your loved one. Whether you choose a bold hue or a more subtle finish, the piece becomes a quiet reflection of their character.

Every urn is engraved directly by us with a two-tone engraving of the name and dates, which is offered on every piece. The engraving is cut into the surface, making the name and the years a permanent part of the vessel. Each urn also features a threaded screw-top lid and a felt base for stability.

This custom detail ensures that their identity is engraved into the very material of the urn. It creates a lasting tribute that sits steadily in your home, holding their name as a permanent part of the object.

If your family finds comfort in keeping a loved one near through shared remembrance, these medium urns may offer a way to honor that need. If their life was defined by the connections they made across many homes, then a piece from this collection may hold the meaning you seek. The choice of a specific color or engraved design is entirely yours, guided by the character of the person you remember.

Dividing remains allows for a continuous presence, ensuring that distance does not diminish the closeness you once shared. By choosing a vessel that resonates with their spirit, you can provide each household with a way to keep their memory a part of daily life.

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.
