Abstract: A burial urn for storing the cremated remains of a deceased person and for displaying a memorial. The urn is constructed in the general shape of a book preferably from cast metal parts. A cast main body has an interior chamber with a single inlet opening closed by a removable closure plate for storing the remains. A cast frame is removably attached to the main body to provide a framed area on the front cover of the book shape for retaining and displaying a memorial. The urn may be slidably mounted on pairs of pivot pins to channel-like guide tracks on a support frame or the like. This mounting arrangement permits the urn to be pulled out of the support frame and pivoted for viewing the memorial, but prevents removal of the urn from the support frame without a special tool.
