The rich crimson color is robust and won’t fade, a metaphor for the love you shared and still feel. But the heart alone sometimes needs rest; that’s why this heart is provided with a bronze antique stand upon which to sit, allowing you to always keep the heart flowing and your loved-one close, holding onto the wonderful memories you created and shared together. Brass is a lightweight metal alloy made of 90% copper and 10% zinc. It gives off a bright golden appearance when polished. Oftentimes, brass cremation urns are finished with bronze or pewter to strengthen the brass and to alter the color. Brass is also easy to cast in a mold as it is a malleable material that can be coated in enamel or paint. It is used in multiple capacities for a wide variety of purposes and has a long history as a favored material for metal cremation urns. The beauty and functionality of brass have given it a high standing among metals and alloys, and it is among the most popular choices in our large selection of cremation urns for ashes.
