Most families choose this red urn for its eye-catching design.Red is a color of intensity often associated with love. In addition to "tiger eye," this urn design has been described as lava rocks and overlapping rose petals.The Red Tiger Eye Cremation Urn is sized to hold the ashes of an average adult -- a person who weighed 185 pounds or less prior to cremation. The lid of this memorial urn closes with threading (like a jar) for secure closure, and the edge is trimmed with a smooth silver band. You can keep this urn at home, bury it, place it in a columbarium, or just use it as a temporary vessel if you wish to scatter the ashes.
