Combinable dual cremation urns

Abstract

A system consisting of two urns each being capable of containing the cremated remains (cremains) of one person. Each urn is the mirror image of the other urn. Each urn has a base that will support it standing alone. Each urn has an opening with a plug or cover to fit securely in the opening. The opening will allow the cremains to be placed within the urn. The plug or cover will create an airtight seal. Each urn will have an area to affix a means to identify the cremains. Each urn will have a part of the common area which is removeable to allow the contents of the two urns in the system to co-mingle when joined. Each urn will have a common surface area that will permit the two urns to be permanently sealed together to form one unit.

Claims

1. A system consisting of two urns each urn being capable of containing the cremated remains (cremains) of one person and each urn being the mirror image of the other urn. Each urn can be of any shape or style and made out of any suitable material. Each urn has a base that will support it standing alone. Each urn has an opening with a plug or cover to fit securely in the opening and which opening will allow the cremains to be placed within the urn and then have inserted and secured the plug or cover in such manner as to create an airtight seal. Each urn will have an area, on the plug or cover or elsewhere, to affix a medallion or other means to identify the cremains therein. Further each urn will have an area of the surface that joins the other urn in the system which area is removeable to allow the contents of the two urns system to co-mingle when joined. Finally the two urns have areas of the surface that correspond to the like surface of other urn in the system that will permit the two urns to be permanently sealed together to form one unit.

2. The combination of claim 1 except the system consists of three or more urns which when joined together comprise a single shape, such as a barrel or a vase.

3. The combination of claim 1 except the system consists of three or more urns each of which has sufficient flat areas on opposing sides to accommodate a removable area and which has sufficient remaining flat area to be joined to another urn in the system.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] FIG. 1 is a front view of the system of dual cremations urns together.

[0011] FIG. 2 is an end view of the urn on the right side of the system.

[0012] FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the urn on the right side of the system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] Referring to FIG. 1 there is illustrated a system of two cremation urns 1 and 5 designed as mirror images of each other with a side of each designed to be permanently adhered to the corresponding side of the other urn in the system. Each urn is of sufficient size to accommodate the cremains of one person. Each urn has a base 4 and 8 sufficient to support that urn standing alone. Each urn has an opening 2 and 6 sufficient to receive the cremains. Each urn has a plug or cap 3 and 7 that will fit into the opening 2 and 6 to permit an airtight seal to be created.

[0014] The design in FIG. 1 is only illustrative and the system can be of any design and made of any materials suitable for the purpose.

[0015] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 there is illustrated the urn on the right side of the system.1. The urn in FIGS. 2 and 3 has a base of sufficient size and location to permit the urn to stand upright 4. The urn on the left side of the system is a mirror image of FIGS. 2 and 3. There is illustrated the opening of sufficient size to receive the cremains 2 and the plug or cap 3 to fit within said opening and allow an airtight seal to be created. There is further illustrated an area of the urn 1 within the side designed to be fitted and sealed to the left urn in the system that is removeable 9. Finally there is an area of the urn 1 that is flat 10 (cross-hatched) and which is designed to correspond and fit tightly to the corresponding area of the left urn of the system such that the two urns can be joined and permanently sealed together.
