An urn is a vase, ordinarily covered, that usually has a narrowed neck above a footed pedestal.
In Classical terms, an urn is a large decorative covered container of wood, metal, pottery, etc. In furniture, it was a large wooden vase-like container which was usually set on a pedestal on either side of a side table. This was the characteristic of Adam designs and also of Hepplewhite's work. Urns were also used as decorative turnings at the cross points of stretchers in 16th and 17th century furniture designs. The urn and the vase were often set on the central pedestal in a "broken" or "swan's" neck pediment.
Funerary urns (also called cinerary urns and burial urns) have been used by many civilizations. After a person died, survivors cremated the body and collected the ashes in an urn. Pottery urns, dating from about 7000 BC, have been found in an early Jiahu site in China, where a total of 32 burial urns are found, and another early finds are in Laoguantai, Shaanxi. There are about 700 burial urns unearthed over the Yangshao (5000–3000 BC) areas and consisting more than 50 varieties of form and shape. The burial urns were used mainly for children, but also sporadically for adults. In ancient Greece, the lekythos, a type of pottery in ancient Greece, was used for holding oil in funerary rituals. In the Bavarian tradition, a king's heart would be placed in the urn upon his death (as happened with King Otto of Bavaria in 1916). Cremation urns were also commonly used in early Anglo Saxon England, and in many Pre-Columbian cultures.
Mark William Calaway (born March 24, 1965), better known by his ring name The Undertaker, is an American professional wrestler and actor. He is currently signed to WWE, where he has worked since 1990, making him the company's longest tenured in-ring performer. Calaway began his wrestling career with World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) in 1984. After wrestling for World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as "Mean" Mark Callous from 1989 to 1990, he signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 1990.
As The Undertaker, his gimmick is a horror-themed, dynamically dark, macabre entity who employs scare tactics and holds links to the supernatural. He has won the Wrestling Observer Newsletter "Best Gimmick" award, a record five times. The Undertaker is the storyline half-brother of fellow WWE wrestler Kane, with whom he has alternately feuded and teamed with as The Brothers of Destruction. Since unseating Hulk Hogan as WWF Champion in 1991, The Undertaker has been involved in various pivotal storylines and matches within WWE history.

*Update* After posting this video I became aware of a news story bringing to light that Garden of Innocence does claim deceased children that have been left somewhere to be found, however they also claim stillborn children if the parents leave them at the hospital unclaimed. If these infants were to go unclaimed then they would be cremated and buried in a mass grave. While I do still support this organization and feel good about sending off a urn to lay one of these children to rest, I thought it was something that should be public knowledge in case it changes somebody's motivation to be involved. Here is the news story if you would like to read it: http://fox40.com/2013/11/27/garden-of-innocence-under-fire-for-using-term-abandoned/ Garden of Innocence Website: http://www.gardenofinnocen...
In this video, we demonstrate cremation urn burial vaults and explain why they may be necessary when burying a cremation urn in a cemetery. We will also look at special urns made from cultured marble that function as a cremation urn and urn vault all-in-one.

This is my process for making an urn. I'm new to wood turning so the whole process was my own. I'm sure my technique was wrong or could be improved.
Dark as night In a moonlit hollow I come to you From the shadows It may seem Like some kind of dream I am true Not some fantasy
Come with me to the darkness With this blood you will be blessed In the darkness of heaven You will be with me Forever
I stand here And wait for you to see A dark angel Is what I seem You stand there As if you don't care I may be Your worst nightmare
Come with me to the darkness With this blood you will be blessed In the darkness of heaven You will be with me Forever
For you, love I give this one last chance Or will tonight Be our last dance Dressed in black We will not come back For this night May be your last
