Full-sized and keepsake-sized cremation urns
A combination of a full-sized cremation urn and a keepsake-sized cremation urn comprises a full-sized container sized and configured to receive therein cremation remains of a deceased, the container including an externally threaded neck defining an opening and an internally threaded lid for closing the opening, and a keepsake-sized container sized and configured to receive therein only a portion of the cremation remains of the deceased, the container including a base plate, an upstanding externally threaded cylinder attached to the base plate and defining an opening, and an internally threaded lid for closing the opening. The full-sized container lid and the keepsake-sized container lid are substantially identical.
1. A combination of a full-sized cremation urn and a keepsake-sized cremation urn, comprising:
a full-sized container sized and configured to receive therein cremation remains of a deceased, said container including an externally threaded neck defining an opening and an internally threaded lid for closing said opening, and
a keepsake-sized container sized and configured to receive therein only a portion of the cremation remains of the deceased, said container including a circular base plate, an upstanding externally threaded cylinder attached to said base plate and defining an opening, and an internally threaded lid for closing said opening,
said keepsake-sized container lid having an outer diameter that is substantially identical to a diameter of said base plate, and said upstanding externally threaded cylinder having an outer diameter that is less than the diameter of said base plate, such that when said keepsake-sized container lid is completely threaded onto said upstanding externally threaded cylinder a lower edge surface of said keepsake-sized container lid abuts an upper peripheral surface of said base plate and an outer cylindrical surface of said keepsake-sized container lid is substantially flush with an outer cylindrical surface of said base plate,
wherein said full-sized container lid and said keepsake-sized container lid are substantially identical.
2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said full-sized container is cylindrical and wherein the outer diameter of said full-sized container lid is substantially less than an outer diameter of said full-sized container.
3. The combination of claim 1 wherein said external threads of said full-sized container neck and said external threads of said keepsake-sized container cylinder are the same thread pattern.
4. The combination of claim 3 wherein said internal threads of said full-sized container lid and said internal threads of said keepsake-sized container lid are the same thread pattern.
5. A combination of a full-sized cremation urn and a keepsake-sized cremation urn, comprising:
a full-sized container sized and configured to receive therein cremation remains of a deceased, said container including a threaded neck defining an opening and a matingly threaded lid for closing said opening, and
a keepsake-sized container sized and configured to receive therein only a portion of the cremation remains of the deceased, said container including a circular base plate, an upstanding threaded cylinder attached to said base plate and defining an opening, and a matingly threaded lid for closing said opening,
said keepsake-sized container lid having an outer diameter that is substantially identical to a diameter of said base plate, and said upstanding externally threaded cylinder having an outer diameter that is less than the diameter of said base plate, such that when said keepsake-sized container lid is completely threaded onto said upstanding externally threaded cylinder a lower edge surface of said keepsake-sized container lid abuts an upper peripheral surface of said base plate and an outer cylindrical surface of said keepsake-sized container lid is substantially flush with an outer cylindrical surface of said base plate,
wherein said full-sized container lid and said keepsake-sized container lid are substantially identical.
6. A combination of a full-sized cremation urn and a keepsake-sized cremation urn, comprising:
a full-sized container sized and configured to receive therein cremation remains of a deceased, said container including a threaded neck defining an opening,
a keepsake-sized container sized and configured to receive therein only a portion of the cremation remains of the deceased, said container including a base plate and an upstanding threaded cylinder attached to said base plate and defining an opening, and
a common threaded lid that matingly threads onto both said threaded neck of said full-sized container and said threaded cylinder of said keepsake-sized container.
