Nelson Tall Brass Urn

The Nelson Tall Brass Urn is an upright rectangular urn in polished gold-tone brass. Its tall, narrow footprint takes up little shelf space, and the smooth panels are ready for personalization.

Brass gives this urn a reassuring weight and lasting durability, so it holds up beautifully whether it is displayed at home, placed in a niche or buried.

Engraving is available right on the urn (up to 135 characters), so you can add a name, dates or a heartfelt line.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if this urn is the right size?

Funeral directors typically recommend about one cubic inch per pound of body weight before cremation. At 210 cubic inches, this urn works for most adults up to around 210 pounds.

Is a metal urn OK for air travel?

It can be difficult. TSA must be able to X-ray cremated remains in carry-on luggage, and metal blocks a clear image. A temporary container for the flight, with the urn shipped or packed separately, is usually the easiest option. Check TSA and your airline's rules first.

How do I keep the finish looking new?

Dust it gently with a soft, lint-free cloth. To keep the finish looking its best, avoid water, abrasive cleaners and spots with high humidity.

Can I get this urn in time for a service?

Yes, we move quickly. Weekday orders placed by 1:00 PM CST ship the same business day, and engraved orders ship the same day when the proof is approved by 1:00 PM CST. After the cutoff, orders ship the next business day. Business hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
