Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a new urn display device (urn pedestal) for displaying an urn during a funeral ceremony. The urn display device includes a base that covers and encloses the burial opening where the urn is placed after the ceremony, provides a safe “floor” for anyone approaching the urn, and a central hole in the base that allows the urn to be passed through the base into a burial opening after the ceremony.
