The Cobalt Marble Extra Small Urn is a vibrant blue urn with attractive marbling that can hold a small amount of ashes in remembrance. Small urns like this one are popular as a way to keep memories of a loved one nearby, to hold ashes until a scattering ceremony, or as a way to divide ashes among several family members. Made of genuine marble, the Cobalt Marble Extra Small Urn is colorized through a custom process to achieve its brilliant and more contemporary color.
