Abstract: A shatterproof urn for the final disposition of cremation remains that includes an outer shell defining an interior volume and having an interior surface and an opening for the placement and removal of contents from the interior volume. The outer shell is fabricated from a hard and durable material. A resilient and/or flexible lining is disposed on the interior surface of the outer shell and may partly adhere to the interior surface. A lid is provided and is sized for sealed placement over the opening in the outer shell, and the lid is also provided with a resilient material on its underside. If for any reason the urn is broken, the flexible inner lining remains intact and prevents sharp outer shell material from damaging urn contents.

Abstract: A plurality of arcuate rim retention elements adapted for installation over the rim of a barrel in an end-to-end relationship so as to capture and retain a fluid containing liner installed in the barrel. Each of the rim retention elements has an upper portion, and inner and outer side portions depending downwardly from the top portion. The configuration provides for a tight fit over a barrel rim and thus captures the liner interposed between rim retention elements and the sides of a barrel rim.
