urns
Cremation remains containers
Urns are decorative vases, typically with a pedestal base and often featuring handles.
The most solemn use of an urn is to hold the ashes of a cremated person.
In classical and neoclassical art, urns appear frequently as ornamental motifs on buildings, in gardens, and on monuments.
A large container for serving hot beverages may also be called an urn: a coffee urn.
The word occasionally appears in poetic contexts evoking mortality or antiquity.
