Cinerary Urn
A cinerary urn is a container used to hold the ashes of a deceased person following cremation. Traditionally made from various materials such as clay, stone, or metal, these urns can come in a wide range of designs and sizes, reflecting personal or cultural significance. They are often used in memorial services and can be displayed at home, buried, or placed in a columbarium. The term "cinerary" comes from the Latin word "cineris," meaning ashes, emphasizing the urn's purpose of preserving the remains of the departed.
