FAQ

What is a "Sharing Urn" in human memorials?

A sharing urn is a vessel used when a family decides to divide a loved one's ashes among several relatives. Our 18-45 cu in urns allow you to keep a significant and substantial portion of remains, ensuring that everyone has a sacred place for memory in their own home.

How much ash do sharing urns hold?

These urns have a capacity of 18 to 45 cubic inches. In practical terms, this fits about 1.5 to 3 standard cups of ashes. It is much larger than a tiny keepsake, making it a meaningful choice for those who want to hold more than just a token amount.

Does it look like a traditional funeral urn?

No, and that is why many families choose Mira Ceramics. Our heart-shaped and botanical designs are created as pieces of fine art. They are discreet, elegant, and designed to blend into your home decor as a beautiful sculpture that holds a private, precious secret.

How do I personalize the memorial?

I can hand-engrave a name, significant dates, or a short heartfelt message (up to 3-5 words) on the base of the urn or the stand. This personalization is done before the final firing to ensure it remains part of the ceramic forever.

Is it possible to seal the urn permanently?

Yes. While the lids fit snugly, we recommend using a few drops of clear silicone or a strong ceramic adhesive on the rim of the lid for a permanent, secure seal. This ensures the contents remain protected for generations.

Can I keep this urn outdoors?

Our urns are made from high-fire stoneware (fired at 1200°C), which makes them incredibly durable. However, to preserve the delicate hand-painted botanical details and gold accents (if any), we recommend keeping these particular pieces indoors in a dry place.
