Vatican Observatory Foundation™ Urns

Made of solid poplar wood and licensed by the Vatican Observatory Foundation, the urn is a magnificent tribute to honor your loved one—man, woman or child—and celebrate a life of faith.

The urn features a wood-carved cross on each side, a frosted votive candle bearing the Vatican Observatory seal, and a glass front to protect and display the exclusive Renaissance-style piece of artwork. Affixed to the top of the urn is a brass-plated seal of the Vatican Observatory Foundation. The urn has a cherry satin finish, loads from the bottom, and holds up to 222 cubic inches of remains. Note: one (1) pound prior to cremation equals one (1) cubic inch. Ideal for home or columbarium.

Founded in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII, the Vatican Observatory’s mission of education, research and discovery for the betterment of mankind will be supported with your purchase of a Vatican Observatory Foundation urn.
