Abstract: A method which allows creation of an ornamental urn from an object such as horns, antlers, rocks, or the like. The method generally includes steps which form an ornamental urn adapted to resemble an object. The ornamental urn may include an access port having a funnel portion leading to an inner cavity adapted to store particulate materials, such as cremated remains. A plug, which may include a burr edge, is also provided to close the access port. The urn is fabricated by coating the object in a first coating to create an object mold, forming a second coating around the object mold to create an outer casing, and uniformly distributing a casting material along the inner walls of the object mold. After the casting material has cured, the ornamental urn may be removed from the object mold and finished to closely resemble the original object.
