The Sure-Lock Plastic Urn is commonly chosen by families as a temporary container to store cremated remains until memorialization plans can be finalized, to transport cremated remains to another location, or to hold them until the desired cremation urn can be chosen. Alternatively, this plastic urn can be used as an urn insert with chest-style wood cremation urns such as the popular Burlwood Memorial Chest Urn by Howard Miller. Families can bury this plastic urn if an urn vault is used such as the Basic Urn Vault for Box Burial.

Sturdy but lightweight, the Sure-Lock Plastic Urn is constructed of a black plastic polymer. It can be x-rayed and thus is an option for transport on an airplane. The lid of the container is hinged on one side and clicks to close: this Sure-Lock closure ensures the contents will remain securely inside.

The container is considered adult size with a capacity of 205 cubic inches.
