If someone is planning on putting your uncle's ashes in a nice urn, but is not impressed with local selection, go online. We did that, and found the prices were better, too. We got a nice one with three dolphins spouting out of a wave, appropriate for Irby's trips, where he often spotted dolphins dancing along the boat.

It's more than enough for Irby's ashes: Edna's will be added when she goes, and the combination will be scattered in a few specified places they favored. Meanwhile, it's on a shelf where we can see it every day and remember him (as if we needed somethng physical for that).

There are also little keepsakes where a small bit of ash can be stored, so that several/many people can have a memento of the deceased.
