General information:

Brass cremation urns

Brass memorial cremation urn assortment
Brass is our most popular urn material. Brass cremation urns have been in use in memorial urn construction for thousands of years. Choice Urns offers a great selection of brass urns in many styles, colors and sizes, most of which can be engraved with your personalized message. Many offer the option of an additional graphic for a special personalized touch.

Urn personalization options

Engraved urns collage

While not required, many choose to personalize their urns with an engraved message, which may include a name, nickname(s), dates or birth and/or passing, and a thoughtful sentiment. Depending on the urn model chosen, there maybe be several lines of space available for your message, as well as various graphics available that we can add, which range from a simple heart or religious symbol, to sports graphics, nature-inspired drawings, hobbies and much more. This is a wonderful way to customize the urn in a style that pays tribute to the unique personality of your loved one its occupant. The engraving occurs directly into the metal, which results in a silver or gold look, depending on the particular qualities of the base metal.

Our artisans format the text font sizes, layout and graphics placement thoughtfully, based on the text entry that you provide with your order submission. Please note that urns are customized items that may not be returned, so please check your submission carefully to ensure that it’s 100% correct.

Block Font

Clean and crisp, our block font gets your message across clearly. Block is well-suited for situations when you have a lot to say, or if you like a stronger look in a traditional engraving style. It’s also very effective at getting your message across when all caps are chosen (all caps are not recommended when using the script font – choose block instead if all caps are required).

Script Font

The Script font provides a classic cursive-style look. It is not as well-suited for a larger amount of text, however, and may be harder to read from a distance, so keep that in mind if you choose script. Please also note that multiple capital letters grouped together are very difficult to read, due to the ornate styling of script capital letters, so we strongly recommend against all caps.

Graphic Symbols (Clip Art)

Many of our urns can be ordered with an added graphic, along with text. If you have a graphic in mind that you don’t see here, we encourage you to contact us, as we’ll do everything we can to accommodate your particular needs. We want the urn’s style to be a perfect reflection of the person/pet for whom it was purchased.

Memorial cremation urn size comparison

Full Size/Adult/Large – 10″-11″ tall

Our full-sized cremation urns are used to hold the cremated remains of a loved one that weighed up to about 220 pounds, depending on the style chosen. Please note that the specific capacity of each of our urns is listed above in the Urn Specifications section, along with other important details regarding the urn. Please also note that the volume is ashes is calculated based on the traditional cremation method. If the aquamation method is used, the volume of ashes generated will typically be about 20-30% higher. About 6″ wide at the widest point, most of our full-size urns allow for both multi-line engraved text, as well as a graphic.

Sharing/Medium/Child Size – 6″ tall

In many cases, families choose multiple sharing urns so that each can retain a portion of the ashes. Also commonly used for children and pets, the typical capacity is up to about 60 pounds of pre-cremation weight (deduct about 20-30% if the aquamation method is used for cremation). They’re typically about 4″ wide at the widest point and we offer text and graphic engraving for most of our sharing-size memorial cremation urns. This size is also suitable for many pets.

Keepsake/Mini/Small – 3″ tall

This specialty size is useful when there is a desire to share a very small amount (less than 3 pounds/3 cubic inches) of cremains with family and friends. It’s a beautiful way to provide multiple keepsakes in the event that there are a larger number of persons that wish to retain a keepsake of the dearly departed. It may also be used for very small pets or when sharing the remains of a pet. Although much smaller in size, we do offer text and graphic engraving on many of our keepsake-sized memorial urns.

Filling the urn

This brass cremation urn features a threaded lid closure for simplicity and security. It tightens clockwise like a jar, but you must be careful to line the threads up properly, as the soft brass metal threads could become damaged if you are forceful. The threads should mesh smoothly, with only a bit of resistance and should not become tighter after the initial 1 or 2 turns. If so, back the lid out and try again – do not force it. Upon opening your urn for the first time, you may find that the lid is a little snug. In this case, wrap a soft cloth around the lip, which will provide extra leverage while protecting the finish. Do not use tools, as they may easily damage the finish. Urns which have been damaged by improper opening attempts are not returnable. Once the urn is open, you can place the bag containing the ashes directly inside or you can choose to pour them in directly – there is no right or wrong way to do this. If you’re sharing the ashes with others, you can pour a portion of the ashes into the urn, then reseal the bag in order to transport the remaining ashes to the other person(s). You can create a more permanent closure by using super glue or other adhesive or sealant to the threads, being careful not to get the glue on the exterior of the urn.
