Filling Cremation Urns for Ashes from the Metal Collection

Filling and Sealing Urns for Ashes from the Metal Collection

The principle of sealing by means of a special double-sided tape is used for all our stainless steel models, while the other materials are sealed with silicone. All shown components are included. Our stainless steel urns are closed with double-sided sealing tape that provides instant adhesion and can withstand very high tensile forces. It is therefore of the utmost importance to fill and seal our products correctly.

Proceed as follows:

1. Depending on the shape of the urn, you may opt to place the provided plastic bag inside the urn before pouring in the ashes. This is optional and only possible for urns with one large ash compartment.

2. If you choose to use the plastic bag, place it inside the urn and leave part of it hanging outside. If this is not the case, skip the next three steps.

3. Use the part of the bag hanging outside as a funnel and pour in the ashes. (Fig. 6)

4. Close the plastic bag with the supplied cable tie and push it entirely into the opening of the urn.

5. If the plastic bag is not used, it is recommended to use a funnel when pouring the ashes to avoid spilling.

6. Make sure the internal seating edge of the urn is completely free of dust, grease, and moisture. Use the supplied cloth for this purpose. (Fig. 7)

7. Remove the protective film from the lid and carefully position it against the rim of the ash chamber opening, or glue the cap with silicone. (Fig. 8)

8. Seal the ash chamber by pressing the lid into the rim in one motion. A properly closed lid should not protrude above the surrounding material. The bottom is now flat.

9. Press the lid firmly; the urn is now sealed.

Only an urn filled in this manner is 100% guaranteed to remain problem-free and leakproof for decades, both indoors and outdoors. Should the urn need to be opened later for any reason, this can only be done by one of our technicians.
