Secure Screw-Top Closure
The Aurelian Violet Brass Memorial Urn is designed for full-capacity storage of ashes (adult size), and permanent memorial placement. It can be displayed at home, for a burial, or for columbarium use. If you require a smaller symbolic piece, our keepsake urns or memorial jewellery are more appropriate.
Violet is a colour few families expect to find on a cremation urn, and that's exactly what draws people to the Aurelian Violet. Deep amethyst rather than the more common navy or black, it carries associations of dignity and quiet reverence – a richer, warmer choice for someone whose memory called for something out of the ordinary. The enamel is layered so subtle tonal variation moves beneath the surface, giving the violet real depth rather than a single flat shade.
Polished brass frames the design, warming the amethyst body and lifting it out of anything sombre, while a decorative central band carries finely engraved botanical detailing, the kind of close, classical artistry that rewards a second look. The domed lid and symmetrical proportions give the piece a composed, ceremonial silhouette, formal without tipping into excess.
Underneath the finish it's solid brass rather than aluminium, which gives it genuine weight in the hand and a sense of permanence lighter urns can't match. It stands 28 cm tall and 20 cm wide, with a 220 cubic inch capacity suited to full adult remains, up to approximately 100 kg (100 kg is 220 lb), and a threaded brass lid that seals securely. It suits home display, a columbarium niche, or a burial vault. It's part of our range of adult cremation urns, at the ornate, ceremonial end of the collection.
For families comparing a cremation urn NZ wide and wanting a colour with genuine rarity and richness rather than the usual dark tones, the Aurelian Violet stands apart. It's a solid brass urn for ashes NZ families can keep at home or place in a formal memorial setting, built to hold its finish for decades.
