Abstract: An urn system includes means for configuring memorials tributes with urns as the centerpiece. Urns include cut-outs for receiving independent flanges or flanges connected to other elements or secondary members including other urns, display cases, frames, inscription plates, insert holders and the like. Each of the secondary members allows a substantive memorial to be created with numerous decorative and inspirational elements. Multiple urns can be linked to one another as well.
