cinerary

They’re cinerary jars, crafted by British ceramist Julian Stair to hold human remains.

Many are in old cinerary urns displayed in glass-encased time capsules, along with displays of old photographs and keepsakes.

A description on the wall tells the viewer "this cinerary jar is made for, and from, the cremated remains of Lesley James Cox", who was the artist's uncle-in-law.

The 2nd Room— Is a corridor filled with cinerary urns, chiefly from Volterra, bearing recumbent figures, ludicrously stunted.

It was used chiefly for cinerary purposes, the Germanic peoples having a decided preference for vessels of horn, wood, or metal.
