Athenaeum Pewter Keepsake Urn

This keepsake urn holds up to 5 cubic inches of ashes, which is intended for a small, symbolic portion rather than full remains. This size works well for families who wish to share ashes among multiple loved ones. It also serves beautifully as a personal remembrance piece to complement a full-size urn.

The urn is crafted from durable brass with a pewter finish, giving it a refined and timeless appearance. It features a detailed leaf-engraved band that adds a touch of elegance and symbolism. The combination of materials and design makes this keepsake feel both classic and meaningful.

Yes. We offer black color engraving on this model, allowing you to add a name, dates of service, badge number (if applicable), or a short tribute message. When ordering, please double-check all spelling, punctuation, and dates, as customized items become final once engraving begins.

Yes, you can. This keepsake urn can hold a small sentimental item alongside the ashes, such as dried flower petals, a tiny note, or another meaningful token. The interior space is limited, but it allows you to include a modest remembrance that adds a personal touch to the tribute.

This urn opens from the top with a threaded lid, which allows you to place ashes or a small keepsake inside safely and securely. The threading ensures the lid closes tightly and stays in place once sealed. This makes it easy to fill while maintaining long-term protection for the contents.

We recommend displaying this urn indoors to protect its finish and preserve its appearance. It looks beautiful on a shelf, mantel, bedside table, or within a dedicated memorial area. Indoor display also helps prevent moisture or environmental wear over time.

We process and ship orders within one business day for non-personalized urns. If you add optional accessories or nameplates, please allow 1-2 business days for handling before shipment. Standard shipping is generally 3-7 business days depending on your location and chosen shipping method.

If the item is unused and unfilled, we offer returns or exchanges within a specified timeframe (often 30–60 days). Once the memorial piece has been filled with ashes or has been personalized through engraving, it becomes a customized item and cannot be returned. Please verify all size, finish, and personalization selections before placing your order.

To maintain its finish, simply wipe the urn with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal polishes, as these may damage the pewter finish or engraving details. Keeping it in a dry indoor space will help preserve its appearance for many years.

The leaf motif represents renewal, remembrance, and the enduring nature of life. It carries a quiet sense of peace and continuity, which many families find comforting during times of loss. The design adds a meaningful touch to the urn’s appearance without overwhelming its simple, elegant form.
