Exquisitely made, and very beautiful!
Shopping for an urn can be difficult, especially when you're not really sure where to turn to. However, and with unexpected gratitude, I found this urn on Amazon (of all places), and once again discovering they really do carry just about anything you could ever think of.<br /><br />My beautiful bride and best friend had just passed away after a long illness. Cremation was both of our wishes in early conversations, but I really had no idea that I would be having to prepare for this event in such a short time -- we had only been married for 8 1/2 years. Yet, I knew that I wanted to find something that would be suitable, beautiful, and representative of the kind of person she was. When I said &#34;I do,&#34; I was also blessed with 3 wonderful step-kids that are the greatest gift she could have ever given to me. So, when I saw the 3 birds, I knew right away that it would be something she would have loved because they would have represented the kids.<br /><br />The urn is solid and beautifully done. The silver metal is nicely polished, and the turquoise inlays are quite nice. However, the color of the turquoise is not 'quite' as dark as is in the product photo. Still, it is beautiful, and I love it. The unit is weighty and solid. The cap fits solidly and firmly without issue. Her cremains fit well with much room to spare.<br /><br />After looking through the catalog provided by the funeral home of their urns, The prices were a staggering $300 to a couple of thousand (depending). I felt no need to pay that kind of money, and my wife would have been appalled as well. So, for a little over $100, the urn is exactly what we both would have wanted. I have absolutely no regret, and the kids think it is simply beautiful -- and that counts most of all.
