My brother, Dean, passed away recently from complications of ALS and it was my great honor to make an urn for his military funeral. His service was a very proud moment for his family and me and I will always treasure this woodturning experience.
If you have a need to make a piece such as this, I posted the plans in the Forum. Click on the following link in the 'Members Contributed Projects' category:

The urn has an ABS threaded joint between the top solid disk and the top segmented row. It is approximately 10" in height by 8" in diameter and is roughly 200 cubic inches in volume meaning that it will hold the ashes of a person weighing approximately 200 pounds.
