Is brass good for temporarily storing & transporting cremains?

Asked 4 years ago

Hi, I'm going to scatter my mom's cremation ashes over the ocean. Because of this, I think it would be unnecessary to organize an entire burial urn that will only be used for 2 days. However, I have an old brass box that seals rather well that I am considering using to transport her ashes. Do you think I could use it?

Brass is a popular material for cremation urns, so your brass box should be perfect, especially if the box seals well and the ashes won't be in there for very long. Brass is a very durable material and should keep your mom's ashes safe until you reach the ocean.
