Urna

Urna est genus vasorum, receptaculum saepe contectum, collo plerumque angustiori super corpus rotundum ac basi pedaria. Urnae antiquitate receptaculis pecuniae, cineribus mortuorum, sortitioni, suffragiisque proderant.D. P. Simpson, Cassell's Latin Dictionary, ed. quinta (Novi Eboraci: Wiley Publishing, 1968), 625, s.v. urna.

Urnae funereae (etiam urnae cinereae et urnae appellatae) a multis civilizationibus adhibentur. Post hominis mortem, cadaver concrematur, et cineres atque ossa collecta in urna sepulcrali conduntur.
